Summary
Jack London was a Socialist at heart, having been born into the working class and rising through hard work to be one of the most successful writers in the world. Though it was that system that made him rich, he had disdain for capitalism in general. His stories told of rugged individualism, but he believed in socialism. This book contains 13 short essays that convey those beliefs.
