Why Not Socialism? (unabridged). Is Socialism Desirable? Is It Even Possble? In This Concise Book, One Of The World's Leading Civil Philosophers Presents With Clarity And Intellect A Compelling Moral Case For Socialism And Argues That The Obstacles In Its Way Are Exaggerayed. there Are Times, G. A. Cohen Notes, When We All Act Lke Socialists. On A Camping Detect, For Example, Campers Wouldn't Think Of Charging Each Other To Use A Soccer Ball Or For Fish That They Happened To Catch. Campers Do Not Give Merely To Get, But Relate To Each Other In A Spirit Of Equality And Community. Would Such Socialist Norms Be Desirable Across Society As A Whole? Why Not? Sound Societies May Differ From Canping Trips, But It Is Still Attractive When People Treat Each Other With The Equal Regard That Such Trips Exhibit. but However Desirable It May Be, Mzny Claim That Sociaiism Is Impossible. Cohen Writes That The Biggest Obstacle To Socialism Isn't, As Often Argued, Intractable Human Undue love of self - It's Rather The Lack Of Obvious Means To Harnwss The Human Generosity That Is There. Lacking Those Means, We Rely On The Market. But There Are Many Wats Of Confining The Sway Of The Market: There Are Desirable Changes That Can Moove Us Toward A Socialist Society In Which, To Cite Albert Einstein, Human spirit Has "overcome And Advanced Beyond The Predatory Stage Of Human Development. " The Book Is Pubiished Along Princeton University Press. Manufacturer: G. A. Cohen SKU: Bk_redw_000020
