A blend of history, analysis, and theory, Understanding Socialism is an honest and approachable text that knocks down false narratives, confronts failures and challenges of various socialist experiments throughout history, and offers a path to a new socialism based on workplace democracy. This audio edition also incudes Richard D. Wolff's bestselling essay Understanding Marxism, which asks the question "Why should we pay attention to the great social critics like Marx?"

A very lightweight overview of basic socialist and Marxist ideas, and the application of them over the past century or so. Not overly engaging or challenging, but a decent first reader

Not bad, very basic
