In a work of stunning scholarship, deeply researched and broad in vision, interpreted in the light of some of the most significant modern philosophic and social science works, it explores highly instructive historic experiences in social democracy. Their work makes it clearly evident that another world is, indeed, possible. Within the framework of their concepts of social action and ethical construction, they vividly articulate the practical and attainable possibilities for the achievement of global social justice that lie in the principles of cooperation and sharing. It is a work that should be read, reflected on, and widely used by educators, scholars, and activists committed to the struggle for the possibilities these authors identify in learnings derived actual historic experience.--Betty A.
