Annotation

Just what the title says. Most of the book focuses on the political organization of a socialist state, but there are chapters on voluntary associations concerning the Co-operative Movement, other consumers’ associations, adult education, and the press, among other issues, and work, which is primarily about the nature and organization of vocations, with both obligatory and voluntary associations based on vocation, and the development of professional ethics, among other issues. The final chapter is on the transition from capitalism to socialism.
