A contribution to the theory of revolution by the English socialist and political theorist Harold Laski. The American edition of the book was critically reviewed by Joseph A. Schumpeter in the American Economic Review, dryly observing with ‘melancholy sympathy’ the ‘battle of ideals and party slogans against unwillingly perceived hard facts that rages throughout the last two hundred pages of the book.’
