Every year, the booksellers at Powell’s submit their Top Fives: their five favorite books that were released in 2023. It’s a list that, when put together, shows just how varied and interesting the book tastes of Powell’s booksellers are. I highly recommend digging into the recommendations — we would never lead you astray — but today...

Steve Paxton is a committed socialist and this is a book devoted to socialism. He makes excellent criticisms of capitalism and arguments for change. However, the prospects for socialist revolution in Europe or the US are poor and his views on that subject are not realistic. All of the countries that have been socialist or communist became dictatorships and police states. This is not surprising because when private economic activity is outlawed, the enforcement of that requires a police state and leads to dictatorship. Social democracy on the other hand has worked very well, it is the combination of private businesses, strong government programs, cooperatives, and strong unions. The 8 social democracies have always been rated the best places in the world to live. Paxton does not mention those countries or social democracy. I do not recommend this book for that reason. Better books and information can be found here: mwir-socialdemocracy.blogspot.
