The ABCs of Socialism by Bhaskar Sunkara
3.0
Does exactly what's on the cover.
The perils of getting such a wide range of authors to co author a book targeted to a skeptical newer audience is that you may get a wider range of topics but none of them are as in depth so as to keep a more experienced reader interested.
Overall this book, although attempts to introduce socialism to a new generation, the preconceived notions of the audience ensures that it is rather spent on reeducation of their prejudices. A change of title to A defense of socialism would not make anyone bat an eyelash
