Excerpt from Social Democracy Explained: Theories and Tactics, of Modern Socialism This volume is an attempt to state in simple, popular, and untechnical language the essentials of the Socialism of the Marxian school. I have tried to present a clear and comprehensive view not only of the philosophical and economic theories of Socialism, but of the principles underlying the policies of the Socialist movement. In justice to the reader as well as to the writer, it should be stated that these pages were written prior to the outbreak of the European war. I was at the time a member of the National Executive Committee of the Socialist Party, and by invitation of the General Committee of the party organization in New York City I delivered a course of ten lectures which were designed to assist in the education of the party membership.

In this hugely influential book, Laclau and Mouffe examine the workings of hegemony and contemporary social struggles, and their significance for democratic theory. With the emergence of new social and political identities, and the frequent attacks on Left theory for its essentialist underpinnings, Hegemony and Socialist Strategy remains as relevant as ever, positing a much-needed antidote against ‘Third Way’ attempts to overcome the antagonism between Left and Right.

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1908 edition. Excerpt: ... TRANSLATOR'S PREFACE. It was the good fortune of the writer to make his entrance into the Socialist movement by way of the Wisconsin organization. After a number of years of active organizing work, mainly in that state, the question forced iself " upon his mind, "Why is Wisconsin so far ahead of the rest of the American Socialist movement?" In the solution of the problem thus presented, it became increasingly clear that the leaders, at least, of the Wisconsin movement were building upon the results of the best thinking of the whole international movement. A search for the source of the ideas which dominate the Wisconsin movement led first of all to the German SocialDemocracy and its wealth of literature. This brochure of Kampffmeyer's was recommended by Mr. Victor L. Berger as the most concise summary of these various ideas. Finding it to be a veritable mine of information, not being able to discover a translation of it in the English, and having the consent of Herr Kampffmeyer himself, the writer undertook the task of translating the booklet and thus making it available for English-speaking readers. The bulk of the work has been done on railway trains, street cars, and away from the conveniences of the library. But it has been my good fortune to have the sympathetic and intelligent aid of a former member of the Lassallean movement in Cologne, Mr. Karl Kleist, in the final revision. Valuable aid on the part of Mr. Victor L. Berger is also to be acknowledged. Its value, not only to Socialists but to all impartial students of the Socialist movement, seems to justify its offer to the public. WlNFIELD R. GAYLORD. Milwaukee, Wis., April, 1908.

The ascendancy of neo-liberalism in different parts of the world has put social democracy on the defensive. Its adherents lack a clear rationale for their policies. Yet a justification for social democracy is implicit in the United Nations Covenants on Human Rights, ratified by most of the worlds countries. The covenants commit all nations to guarantee that their citizens shall enjoy the traditional formal rights; but they likewise pledge governments to make those rights meaningful in the real world by providing social security and cultural recognition to every person. This new book provides a systematic defence of social democracy for our contemporary global age. The authors argue that the claims to legitimation implicit in democratic theory can be honored only by social democracy; libertarian democracies are defective in failing to protect their citizens adequately against social, economic, and environmental risks that only collective action can obviate. Ultimately, social democracy provides both a fairer and more stable social order. But can social democracy survive in a world characterized by pervasive processes of globalization? This book asserts that globalization need not undermine social democracy if it is harnessed by international associations and leavened by principles of cultural respect, toleration, and enlightenment. The structures of social democracy must, in short, be adapted to the exigencies of globalization, as has already occurred in countries with the most successful social-democratic practices.
