Proposed Roads to Freedom by Bertrand Russell
My fascination with politics and world governments led me to this book. It is pretty limited in scope and classic (written in 1918). But overall, Russell gives valuable insight on the roots of Socialism, Anarchism and Syndicalism. He compares these ideas and lists both good and bad points.
Sure to challenge your intellect, this is a must-read for those interested in politics, philosophy of government or mass psychology. I will be re-reading this book in the future, for sure!
On a side note, this is of particular interest in America, as the word "Socialism" is thrown about quite freely. It would be interesting to poll people using the word to see just how many actually know any real facts about the socialist movement.
