A theoretical discussion of socialism, its human values and structural limitations, constitutes the first half of this thin volume by a noted Argentine sociologist. These observations are then applied to Argentina where the general economic development and relatively sophisticated labor movement make possible the evolution of a distinct type of socialism. Not until the last chapter, however, does this highly theoretical discussion descend to the realities of the contemporary scene and plead for a realignment of all worker-oriented groups in a new socialist front. Unfortunately, poor printing and several blank pages mar the presentation of this sensitive philosophizing on Argentina’s need for more effective socialist policy and politics.
