- Synopsis
- In this book, the author traces the fiery trajectory through portraits of the thinkers and leaders who developed the theory of socialism, led it to power and presided over its collapse. We see such dreamers and doers as the French Revolutionary Gracchus Babeuf, whose "Conspiracy of Equals" was the first to try to outlaw private property; Robert Owen, who hoped to plant a model socialist utopia in the U.S., and many others up to Tony Blair, who became one of socialisms inadvertent undertakers.
