Socialism and the Political Organ.
"Daily News" says:—
"This admirable little work."
"Daily Chronicle" says:—
"Well written, logical, and readable, and we commend it to the study of all social reformers."
"Bristol Daily Mercury" says:—
"It would be difficult to name a work which explains so concisely, clearly, and forcibly the inspiring ideas of the Socialist Movement, or gives a better popular exposition of the Socialist aims and policy."
"Huddersfield Worker" says:—
"The logical process of the book is very convincing. "Socialism and Society" is no put up-job, but a strenuous sustained effort by the best intellect in the Parliamentary Labour Party to give a thoroughly deductive statement of a policy which, on purely practical grounds, carries with it its own recommendation."
"Scottish Co-operator" says:—
"Mr. Macdonald is able to show the falseness of both the Individualist and the Marxist position. He, however, is not content with destructive criticism: he gives a luminous exposition of Socialist theory."
"Reynolds' Weekly Paper" says:—
"Society is no longer regarded as an architectural constriction of fixed parts, but as an organism maturing by the laws of variation and growth. . . . . Mr. Macdonald's book is strongly recommended."
