Reviews

[Titus Hjelm · Rating 4 out of 5]

A short but reliable primer. Now partly a primary source itself with its 1983 outlook which had no idea what was up only six years in the future. If available, a good beginner's alternative to the more recent brick-like introductions to world socialism--even if a bit thin on the thought (as opposed to history).
