THE ’S’ WORD: A SHORT HISTORY OF AN AMERICAN
Book ID/图书代码： 13850010B43456
English Summary/英文概要： Campaigning against Barack Obama in 2008, Sarah Palin warned, Now is no time to experiment with socialism, while Missouri congressmember Todd Akin told a McCain rally, This campaign is about one thing. Its a referendum on socialism. One of the most popular ongoing features on Glenn Becks daily radio program is called Americas March to Socialism. John Nichols, a leading political reporter in the US, here offers his unapologetic retort to the return of red-baiting in American political lifearguing that socialism has a long, proud American history. Tom Paine was enamoured of early socialists, Horace Greeley employed Karl Marx as a correspondent, and Helen Keller was an avowed socialist. Moreover, we owe many basic American institutions, like the Social Security system, to the ideas and efforts of American socialists. Recent polls show that Americans, especially young Americans, are more open to socialism and alternatives to capitalism than in decades. Indeed, as The New Yorker put it, There hasnt been so much talk of socialism in an American election since 1920, when Eugene Victor Debs, candidate of the Socialist Party, made his fifth run for president from a cell in the Atlanta Federal Penitentiary. This short, irreverent book gives Americans back a crucial part of their history and makes a forthright case for socialist ideas today.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 2008年，萨拉•佩林在与奥巴马竞选美国总统时警告说：“现在没有时间实验社会主义”，而密苏里州国会议员托德•阿金在麦凯恩竞选集会上说这项运动是一种社会主义公投。格伦•小贝每日电台节目上最流行的栏目之一是“美国正走向社会主义”。美国头号政治新闻记者约翰•尼科尔斯提出了他的观点，他坚持反对美国政治迫害的回归，并认为社会主义中有一段美国历史。 汤姆•潘恩迷恋早期的社会主义者，贺拉斯•格里历聘用马克思为记者，而海伦•凯勒公开宣称自己是社会主义者。此外，我们拥有许多基本的美国机构，如社会保障体系，也是美国社会主义者的功劳。最近的民意测验表明，美国人，尤其是年轻的美国人，他们更加开放，比几十年前更愿意接受社会主义作为资本主义的替代品。事实上，就像纽约人所说，自1920年尤金•维克多•德布斯作为社会党候选人在亚特兰大联邦监狱里第五次竞选总统起，人们就很少在总统大选上提出社会主义的观点。这本小书让美国人回顾到他们的历史的一个重要组成部分，并对今天的社会主义思想提出了坦率的观点。(兼职翻译-LN)
