This original volume offers a critical examination of a number of
developments which in recent years have undermined the idea of
socialism and eroded its electoral appeal. Among these developments
are the collapse of communist regimes, the fragmentation of the
constituencies upon which earlier socialist advances depended,
changes in the organization and dynamics of capitalism, and a death
of agencies committed to the socialist project.
The book argues that a social order dominated by the logic of
capital and competition cannot, despite all the positive claims
made on its behalf, produce the conditions which make true
citizenship and community possible. By contrast, socialism offers
an attractive and feasible programme for the realization of these
ideals. Miliband argues that socialism cannot be seen as an answer
to all the ills which have plagued humankind. Socialism, in his
view, has to be understood as part of an age-old struggle for a
more just society and he believes that, seen in this light,
socialism remains not only desirable but also perfectly possible.
Moreover, he believes, socialism will, in time, come to command a
majority support which its advancement requires.
