Socialism ... seriously : a brief guide to human liberation

Summary:

What is Socialism? is a pamphlet that explores how a future socialist society would organise itself to meet the needs of human beings instead of measuring success solely on the basis of profits. Danny Katch sets out to destroy the idea that all socialists are grim, humourless and dour commentators with this light-hearted and irreverent exploration of how a socialist society would end inequality, racism, war and bad jokes.
