Writing during the Great Depression, William Z.
At the time he published this book in 1932, Foster was leader of the United States Communist Party, and had developed a comprehensive policy platform.
By the time the Depression struck in 1929, Foster was already a veteran campaigner and organizer of labor, having a prominent role in the great steel strike of 1919.
Foster describes burning injustices in the economic orthodoxy, and predicts the gradual emergence of Socialism in the United States.
