El Caso por Socialismo

Global capitalism is in its worst crisis since the Great Depression of the 1930s. Unemployment is growing. America's imperial wars rage on. In this brilliant polemic, Maass argues that the alternative is a democratically planned economy based on workers' control.

Reviews

"Is socialism an impossible, discredited dream or the only realistic path for human survival? If you're not sure of the answer, or are just curious about what the Left really believes in, you need to read Maass. He's the Tom Paine of the contemporary American left."
--Mike Davis, author of Planet of Slums

"This is a vivid, fluent and rare book about socialism for those uninterested in tracts and excited by new prospects."
--John Pilger, author of Freedom Next Time

"Alan Maass' The Case for Socialism…should be required reading in every high school and college civics class. Clearly and accessibly written, it posits socialism as a viable and necessary alternative to capitalism."
—Eleanor J. Bader, Truthout
