The Socialist Manifesto

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

What, exactly, is socialism? And what would a socialist system in America look like? In The Socialist Manifesto (Basic), Bhaskar Sunkara explores socialism's history since the mid-1800s and presents a realistic vision for its future. The founder and editor of Jacobin magazine, Sunkara shows that socialism, though often seen primarily as an economic system, in fact offers the means to fight all forms of oppression, including racism and sexism.

Revolutionary Love: A Political Manifesto to Heal and Transform the World

Powell's City of Books 1005 W Burnside Street, Portland, OR, United States

From social theorist and psychotherapist Michael Lerner comes a strategy for a new socialism built on love, kindness, and compassion. Revolutionary Love (University of California) proposes a method to replace what Lerner terms the “capitalist globalization of selfishness” with a globalization of generosity, prophetic empathy, and environmental sanity. Lerner details how a civilization infused with love could put an end to global poverty, homelessness, and hunger, while democratizing the economy, shifting to a 28-hour work week, and saving the life-support system of Earth.
