Socialism and Democracy is looking for someone to review the following book: Bhaskar Sunkara: The Socialist Manifesto: The Case for Radical Politics in an Era of Extreme Inequality, 2019. Publisher's Blurb: In The Socialist Manifesto, Bhaskar Sunkara delves into the global history of socialist movements since the mid-1800s, and offers a realistic vision for a democratic socialism in this century. Sunkara argues that socialism isn't anti-liberal, but rather it seeks to fulfill aspects of the liberal dream that capitalism frustrates. The ultimate goal is not Soviet-style planning, but to win rights to health care, education, and housing, and to ensure that workers-not just executives or shareholders-share in the success of the companies that employ them. With a 15-point roadmap for the future and a chapter imagining the transition from capitalism to social democracy, and finally to a fully socialist society, The Socialist Manifesto is essential reading for today's emerging socialists, and anyone trying to understand them. The author is the Editor of Jacobin. If this book interests you, write to me at george.snede...@verizon.net.
