Synopsis

The movement against war, oppression and environmental destruction is gaining in strength, credibility and mainstream awareness. In the face of economic crisis, global capitalism is fast being recognised as a bankrupt system. But is there an alternative? Can there be a system which really meets the needs of people on a global scale? In The Case for Socialism, Alan Maass argues that Socialism, a democratically planned economy based on workers' control, is rational, necessary and possible.
