The Story Of Fabian Socialism (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781166137250)

The Story of Fabian Socialism is a book written by Margaret Cole that provides a comprehensive account of the origins, evolution, and impact of the Fabian Society in British politics and society. The Fabian Society was a socialist organization that was founded in 1884 with the aim of promoting social justice and equality through gradual reforms rather than revolutionary means. The book traces the history of the society from its early years, through its involvement in the Labour Party and the establishment of the welfare state, to its decline in the post-World War II era. It explores the ideas and theories that underpinned the society's philosophy, including the concept of ""permeation"" - the idea that socialists should work within existing institutions to effect change. The book also examines the role played by key figures in the society such as Sidney and Beatrice Webb, George Bernard Shaw, and H.G. Wells. Overall, The Story of Fabian Socialism provides a fascinating insight into the development of socialist thought and practice in Britain and its impact on the country's social, political, and economic landscape.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
