About this audiobook
In Proposed Roads to Freedom, Bertrand Russell, one of the most influential thinkers of the twentieth century, explores different ways of improving society with the aim to create a better life for everyone, a life that is aimed at creation instead possession. Russell begins by examining the two main political movements of his time, socialism and anarchism. He discusses their strengths and weaknesses, and the different ways in which they propose to achieve social change. He also considers a third movement, syndicalism, which combines elements of both socialism and anarchism. Russell ultimately argues that the best way to achieve a free and just society is through a combination of socialism and anarchism. He calls this system ""guild socialism."" Guild socialism is a system of economic organization in which workers control the industries in which they work. It is also a system of political organization in which workers have a direct say in government. Proposed Roads to Freedom is a classic work of political thought. It is a must-read for anyone interested in learning more about different ways of organizing society and achieving a more just and equitable world.
