Amidst the rise of fascism in Europe, Carlo Rosselli's work critiques fascism while exploring the evolution of Marxism and advocating for a liberal reformulation of socialism. Written during his imprisonment, it serves as both a historical analysis and a call for ethical political action. In this first English edition, Nadia Urbinati emphasizes its enduring influence on the anti-fascist movement "Giustizia e Liberta." Rosselli argues for a liberal socialism that balances state intervention with the protection of public services and social rights, presenting socialism as an ethical ideal.
