Review Article: Feasible Socialism

The first thing to be said about this excellent book is that it is written at least as much for laypeople as for professionals. With the exception of an occasional technical term such as “externality” and inevitable references to Marxian expressions that have special meanings, there is nothing in it that should deter the interested general reader. Alec Nove matches any abstraction with a gallery of lively illustrations, so that his meaning is easily discerned.
