Historia del Socialismo

Eduardo Montagut's "History of Socialism" is an essential journey through the development of one of the most influential political and ideological currents in history. From its roots in British radical thought and the French Revolution to the consolidation of socialist parties around the world, this work offers a clear, rigorous and accessible vision of socialism in its many facets. The book explores the early philosophical and economic debates that shaped this doctrine, passing through utopian socialism, Christian socialism and the first expressions of anarchist and Marxist thought. Montagut analyzes in depth the influence of key thinkers such as Marx, Engels, Proudhon or Bakunin, as well as the movements that led to the birth of the First International and the ephemeral but transcendental Paris Commune. Through a detailed approach, the evolution of socialism in different regions is examined: the German model of the SPD, socialism in France, Italy and Spain, the consolidation of Nordic social democracy and the impact of British laborism. In addition, the author devotes special attention to socialism outside Europe, addressing its development in Latin America, the United States, Japan and the Arab world. This work is a must for those who wish to understand how socialism has shaped modern history and continues to influence global political debate.
