Address, NATIONAL SEC’Y OF THE SOCIALIST PARTY 111 North Market Street CHICAGO The Truth About Socialism As the reviewers see it Philadelphia _North American_ Nothing in the current and accepted literature of economics avails entirely to controvert the arguments and offset the data here presented, in lucid and almost colloquial form. Mr. Benson’s book takes on readily the aspect of a burning and a shining light. New York _Globe_ Many writers have told the truth about Socialism, but not many have told it so racily and with such fire and no beating about the bush as Mr. Benson.... In writing his book he has evidently had in mind every doubt that was ever expressed about Socialism, every question, foolish or otherwise, that was ever asked.... He has sought to write about Socialism sensibly and practically and in the present tense. J. B. Kerfoot in _Life_ But the book that did the biting, a reading of which inspired this review ... lays before us not a theory, but a programme ... instead of being merely intellectually alive, Mr. Benson’s book is emotively living and magnetically, radio-actively in earnest. And unless you are mighty thin-blooded or mighty thick-skinned it will raise a good, big itchy lump either on your enthusiasm or your combativeness. Horace Traubel in _The Conservator_ The man who can’t make out Socialism after reading Benson ought to suspect himself. There’s something wrong with his machinery. There’s an idiot around somewhere. And that idiot’s not Benson. Detroit _Times_ The book will appeal to the thoughtful who desire a concise expression of Socialist thought and argument. He has written clearly and forcibly; he discusses his subject from the practical, not the technical side. Springfield _Union_ It is a clearly written statement and the book may be regarded as authoritative. Send for catalogue of miscellaneous books published by B. W.
