Presenting a sustained and concrete challenge to the current
political consensus, this reference identifies the radical
alternative of adopting socialism as the key issue facing
civilization and the crucial condition of making substantial
progress. Demonstrating that capitalist control of the state was so
comprehensive that partial reforms were impossible, this reference
attempts to explain how society has managed to evade socialism,
exploring how its claims have failed to persuade many intellectuals
and the potential benefactors of an alternative order. Reviewing
the influence of economic elites and the dominant class, this study
also probes the state's claims to legitimacy, defines the purpose
and role of governments, and analyzes the concepts of reform and
repression. Depicting how the state reemerged from behind the
mystifications of the political system and its behavior to become
the central theme of political studies, this radical and
philosophical investigation combines a political appeal with
thorough, detailed scholarship. A discussion of servants of the
state and the concept of imperfect competition are also included.
