Case for Socialism, the (updated Edition)

The movement against war, oppression and environmental destruction is gaining in strength, credibility and mainstream awareness. In the face of economic crisis, global capitalism is fast being recognised as a bankrupt system. But is there an alternative? Can there be a system which really meets the needs of people on a global scale? In The Case for Socialism, Alan Maass argues that Socialism, a democratically planned economy based on workers' control, is rational, necessary and possible.
