Alternative

Suggesting socialism as an alternative to capitalism, the author of the book asserts this by presenting various cases of dysfunctions seen in capitalist societies, which are not mere coincidents but the very results of the capitalist system. Other parts of the book discuss how socialism is thus necessary and also possible.
