A World to Build: New Paths toward Twenty-First Century Socialism

I really love "A World to Build: New Paths toward Twenty-First Century Socialism" by Marta Harnecker. Here, the phrase "21st Century socialism" is a phrase meant to distinguish between a different socialism that existed in the 20th century (namely the Soviet Union). The book outlines a socialist vision that is decidedly not like the Soviet Union, and it's inspiring. Think a focus on decentralization, anti-authoritarian, pushing power closer to people, greater democracy, and a general goal of human flourishing (or "living well"). I think a lot of people would resonate with Marta Harnecker's vision if they knew about it. It's hopeful and optimistic without being naive. Also a pretty easy read that doesn't get bogged down by academia or technical philosophy. It's also much more modern than a lot of the classic texts of socialism. https://monthlyreview.org/product/a_world_to_build/
