The Socialist Awakening

In The Socialist Awakening, author John B. Judis explores the resurgence of socialism in the US and UK, particularly among younger generations. He examines the evolution of contemporary socialism, which diverges from traditional Marxian ideas and is rooted in leftwing Keynesianism, reflecting a desire for communal values and ethical governance. Judis addresses the motivations behind this renewed interest, including concerns over education, healthcare, and climate change, while cautioning against misinterpreting this movement as merely a reaction to populism.
