It Didn't Happen Here: Why Socialism Failed in the United States (Norton Paperback) Book

Why socialism has failed to play a significant role in the United States—the most developed capitalist industrial society and hence, ostensibly, fertile ground for socialism—has been a critical question of American history and political development.
