Let's build a go-to list of leftist books everyone should know about. Contribute one book per comment so the most popular titles are easy to spot.

Rules:

  1. Single option per comment — mention only one book so voting stays clear.
  2. No duplicates — check existing comments before posting.
  3. Upvote what you love — boost the books that deserve wider readership.

What’s your pick?

Socialism: Utopian and Scientific is a really incredible introductory work for Marxism, at least if you have certain inclinations like an interest in the history of philosophy.

I'm surprised at the major titles that haven't been mentioned yet. the State of the thread is concerning And merits Rev iew.
