I learnt so much from this book - about different conceptualisations of socialism, about the why of socialism and the why nots of capitalism. It’s an amazing tool for developing your arguments and one of the best introductory texts I’ve come across.
It’s not particularly fashionable to read analytical Marxist theory these days, but I think leftists of all stripes could benefit from reading this and more books about the practicalities and theories of socialist transformation in a context that probably won’t allow for a revolutionary rupture in our lifetime.
