Socialism Versus Communism: An Ethical and Psychological Contrast

""Socialism Versus Communism: An Ethical And Psychological Contrast"" is a book written by George Wilfried Hartmann that explores the differences between socialism and communism from an ethical and psychological perspective. The book delves into the historical roots of both ideologies, their theoretical foundations, and their practical applications in different societies around the world. Hartmann argues that while both socialism and communism share some common goals, such as the elimination of social inequality and the establishment of a more just society, they differ significantly in their approach and methods. Socialism, he contends, is more democratic and pluralistic, allowing for a diversity of opinions and interests, while communism tends to be more authoritarian and centralized, relying on a single party to lead the revolution and govern the society. Hartmann also examines the psychological implications of both ideologies, showing how they appeal to different human needs and values, such as freedom, equality, solidarity, and security. The book is written in a clear and accessible style, making it suitable for both scholars and general readers interested in the history and politics of socialism and communism.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
