It's interesting that this book contains the sentence "Of course there are plenty of examples of greed and ambition--look at Donald Trump or the kind of politician who wins a presidential election" as if those two examples were separate things; of course they were at the time but I wonder what it says about our society (and human nature as well) that they've now become one and the same.

This is a short but sweet pamphlet put out by a socialist organization (of course) about how human nature and what's considered "natural" for human beings as changed over time (capitalism is no more or less natural than socialism) and thus, how human nature is NOT a barrier to socialism (spoiler).
