From one of the most prominent voices on the American left, a galvanizing argument for why we need socialism today.
Bhaskar Sunkara is the founder and editor of Jacobin, which he launched in 2010 as an undergraduate at George Washington University. He has written for The New York Times, Le Monde, VICE, and The Guardian. Sunkara lives in Brooklyn, New York.
Mr. Sunkara's motto seems to be: by any means necessary.
*New York Times*
Jacobin, which turned 5 this year, is perhaps the most relevant and
important publication of the American political left today.

Accessible, irreverent and entertaining, Bhaskar Sunkara has
delivered a razor-sharp guide to socialism's history,
transformative promise, and path to power. This book also serves as
an irresistible invitation to join in building that power, and in
shaping the radically democratic future that is our best hope in
these make-or-break times.
*Naomi Klein*
From one of the brightest stars of the American left, essential
reading for anyone who wants to build a new society based on
people's needs, not profit for the elite.
*Owen Jones, author of Chavs*
Through his work pioneering work with Jacobin, Bhaskar Sunkara has
been one of the most important global voices provoking a new
worldwide conversation about socialism for a whole new generation
of people, drowning in wealth inequality and economic crises, who
are newly receptive to its core precepts. In the Socialist
Manifesto, Sunkara strengthens his arguments even more powerfully,
offering not just a compelling economic case for socialism, but a
deeply moral one. Written with the kind of urgency and clarity that
can move people, while dispensing with much of the ossified
academic jargon that has often plagued and crippled discourse
around Socialism, Sunkara's book is crucial for obliterating the
myths and propaganda that have often drowned socialism, and instead
illuminating its genuine virtues.
