Socialism Explained

Written by Introbooks Team

Narrated by Tracy Tupman

Socialism is termed as an economic political and social philosophy covering an assortment of social and economic frameworks characterized by social ownership of the means of production and the self-control of enterprises by workers. It incorporates the political movements and theories related to such systems. A social obligation may be mainstream, collective, collaborative, or equitable.

Socialism and communism are described fundamentally as economic principles that promote the public in place of private ownership, primarily in a system of factors of production, distribution, and exchange of products and services that aim at making money. Both elements are poised for resolving the rising problems they consider to be created by a series of misguided industrial policies. 

The complex evolution of socialism reflects the broad variety of definitions and interpretations of socialism across the political landscape and the absence of a common consensus of what socialism is or how it appears to look in the practical realm. 

Even so, within countries around the globe, socialist party outfits and concepts continue to shape policy matters. And the prevalence of socialism contributes to the universal appeal of seeking a more egalitarian social implementation.
