The ragged trousered philanthropists.
Apr 03, 2003, 22:09
Written at the turn of the century by Robert Tressell. This book did more to shape my political ideas than anything else. It's a treatise on utopian socialism but in the form of a novel, so that the ideas aren't just abstract, but placed into their proper context. Socialism = society. Communism = community.
It breaks down the struggle for existance into its obvious and logical parts and explains why change is neccessary, and what we should be changing to.

You can get the full text by following the link at the bottom of this post, but who reads e-books?
The same link will also tell you something about the author.

It's ISBN number is ISBN 0586090363
