| Summary | "Socialism" by John Stuart Mill is a philosophical treatise that reflects on social and economic structures written in the late 19th century. In this work, Mill explores the implications and critiques of socialism, addressing how various systems of property and social organization can impact the public good and the welfare of the working class. The text serves to analyze key tenets of socialism and to discuss the interplay between existing institutions and potential reforms in social arrangements. At the start of the book, Mill outlines the historical context of political reform, emphasizing the rise of the working class and manhood suffrage as a significant shift in power dynamics. He argues that as these changes become established, new political ideas and doctrines will gain traction, particularly among the working classes who may challenge the existing order of private property. Mill sets the stage for a thorough examination of socialism by acknowledging the failings of current societal structures, particularly their inability to adequately provide for the impoverished. The opening chapters lay the groundwork for a discussion on whether existing principles of property and economics truly serve the greater good or if they perpetuate inequality and suffering, and he suggests this examination must be conducted without bias or prejudice.
