We live in a world of poverty, war, and environmental devastation. A world where living standards for working people plummet while an elite few enjoy lives of unbelievable wealth and power.

This book proposes socialism. A society built from the bottom up through the struggles of ordinary people against exploitation, oppression, and injustice-one in which people come before profit. A society based on the principles of equality, democracy, and freedom.
