Varieties of Socialism

Today, increasing numbers of people are finding socialism to be an attractive idea as an alternative to capitalism. But what is it? The socialist idea has a long history. In this 4-day class, political scientist Joan Roelofs will discuss various varieties of socialism from 19th century French socialism, British socialism, social democracy, 20th century socialism and socialism today.

Dr. Roelofs writes frequently for Counterpunch and is a contributing editor of the journal Capitalism, Nature, Socialism. She is author of Greening Cities: Building Just and Sustainable Communities as well as Foundations and Public Policy: The Mask of Pluralism. She has also translated the work of Charles Fourier and Victor Considerant.
