Additional text

I can think of few books that so convincingly prove, in such clear prose, that capitalism is incapable of meeting the needs of most of humanity, that it must be replaced with a system that does meet humanity's needs, and that such a system is not only desirable but practicable. Buy this book-and then lend it to your 'socialism skeptical' family and friends.
