This was a concise, yet abstract vision from Bertrand Russell. Favoring what some would call "Anarchist - Guild Socialism", Russell Fleshes out with precise detail, the shortfalls and possibilities of the realms associated with socialism and anarchism (in its many various forms). Russell makes use of familiar examples and reasonable rhetorical experiments in an attempt to paint a picture of what the difference between utopian and reality actually is, all in regards of supposed and proposed roads to freedom. Without favoring one road or another, Russell takes his time to compare, contrast, and subject his personal insight into what the future of industrial societies may hold. (Eric Gulliver)
