"Contemporary Socialism" by John Rae is a historical exploration into the rise of socialist ideas and movements across Europe during the tumultuous late 1800s. It explores the transformational moment when socialism shifted gears from small-scale, idealistic experiments to a powerful cry for political change. It looks at how democracy was impacted by this transition, documenting the many groups and key people that shaped socialist ideologies. It also lays out the change in what socialism wanted, from a movement about goodwill to one that was fiercely seeking rights and justice for the working class.
