"Luft’s conception of socialism is far distant from the socialism of the gulag and the secret police; it is a socialism that free people of good will could actually live with and flourish under, and it would certainly be a kinder, more just, and more inspiring social order than we have presently. This original and thoughtful, albeit problematic, contribution to the discussion of socialism is well worth the attention of serious readers. Recommended for high school, public, and academic libraries."-- David S. Pena in Counterpoise, vol. 12, no. 3, Summer 2008, pp. 27-28.
