From Bernie Sanders' presidential campaign to Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez's Green New Deal, the U.S. is witnessing a leftward shift that hasn't been seen for decades. But how many Americans truly understand socialism and socialist principles?

- Different types of socialism (democratic socialism vs. social democracy vs. eco-socialism, etc.); - How socialism became a dirty word; - Which countries are socialist or have socialist programs; - The way socialism exists in the U.S. today (Medicare, Social Security, etc.); - Socialist suggestions for today's issues (healthcare, infrastructure, economy, etc.); - What can you do to bring about change? (getting involved in politics, educating yourself, demonstrating, etc.)Perfect for the engaged voter or the armchair political scientist, pundit, enthusiast, or anyone simply looking to get a better intellectual grasp on socialism, The New Socialist Handbook gives meaning and definition to the commonly misunderstood. Author Dan Tucker breaks down these topics in a clear, accessible way and without a political slant.
