Description
“I am thirty-six years old. So I was brought up to believe that the world was getting better. But it is getting worse.”
So begins an urgent call for Socialist reform in America, penned by the British Labour politician, journalist, and Marxist theorist, John Strachey (1901 –1963), whose 1937 entry onto the United States lecture circuit generated such buzz that readers bought the book just to see what the fuss was all about. Strachey analyzes the New Deal (without wholly approving of it), urges support of Roosevelt, and clarifies the differences between dictatorship in Fascist countries and the successful socialism of the Soviet State. He concludes that America must find a way to resist Fascism, or fall before it.
