Beyond Capital: A Journey Through the Ideals of Socialism and Communism

This book provides an accessible and thought-provoking analysis of the origins, challenges, and impacts of socialism and communism throughout history. It examines how these systems were envisioned to create more just and equitable societies, yet faced political, economic, and ideological resistance that often distorted their principles. With examples ranging from the successful practices of Scandinavian nations to the legacies of countries like Cuba and China, the work reveals how socialist and communist ideals can still inspire meaningful transformation.

More than a historical account, Beyond Capital offers reflections on how to reclaim the values of cooperation, solidarity, and social justice to build a more sustainable future. Focusing on the importance of education, class consciousness, and ethical commitment in politics, the book invites new generations to rethink the world we live in and to seek real alternatives for a more humane and equitable system.
