The book chronicles the development of socialist ideology across Europe, tracing the intellectual lineage from utopian idealists to the organised labour movements that reshaped modern politics. Written with scholarly authority and a clear analytical voice, it details the key thinkers, movements, and economic arguments that formed the backbone of socialist doctrine. This fifth edition was revised and largely rewritten by Edward R. Pease, secretary of the Fabian Society, who brought fresh rigour and contemporary relevance to Kirkup's foundational text, making it an indispensable reference for students of political history and economic thought.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48956313305307,"sku":"2026100005927-SECONDHAND","price":45.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/7376be66-7ea0-4e0a-80a0-4e186ca1d1b8.png?v=1783499495","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026100005927-secondhand-a-history-of-socialism","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
