The Socialist Manifesto

Mr. Sunkara's motto seems to be: by any means necessary. * New York Times *
Jacobin, which turned 5 this year, is perhaps the most relevant and important publication of the American political left today. * Vox.com *
Accessible, irreverent and entertaining, Bhaskar Sunkara has delivered a razor-sharp guide to socialism's history, transformative promise, and path to power. This book also serves as an irresistible invitation to join in building that power, and in shaping the radically democratic future that is our best hope in these make-or-break times. -- Naomi Klein
From one of the brightest stars of the American left, essential reading for anyone who wants to build a new society based on people's needs, not profit for the elite. -- Owen Jones, author of Chavs
Through his work pioneering work with Jacobin, Bhaskar Sunkara has been one of the most important global voices provoking a new worldwide conversation about socialism for a whole new generation of people, drowning in wealth inequality and economic crises, who are newly receptive to its core precepts. In the Socialist Manifesto, Sunkara strengthens his arguments even more powerfully, offering not just a compelling economic case for socialism, but a deeply moral one. Written with the kind of urgency and clarity that can move people, while dispensing with much of the ossified academic jargon that has often plagued and crippled discourse around Socialism, Sunkara's book is crucial for obliterating the myths and propaganda that have often drowned socialism, and instead illuminating its genuine virtues. -- Glenn Greenwald
