thought provoking and a necessary book. however, it was a bit dry and repetetive at parts.
steviec's review against another edition

Four stars for being quite good at what it claims to be; a beginner's guide to Socialism.
I had some faults with it, there was a lot of argument from anecdotal evidence and sometimes it was a bit overly emotional. But Maass offers a thought-provoking introductory argument in favor of Socialism. He was approachable and resonant. The cherries on top were the bibliography (always a rating raiser for me) and the very interesting essay by Howard Zinn included as an afterward.
