DOES Socialism OR Free Enterprise BEST SERVE THE Common Good?
The author reflects on socialism or free enterprise and examines whether they really serve the common good. An overview of the themes in the socialist theory developed by Gracchus Babeuf in his “Plebeian Manifesto” is presented. He describes the presence of poverty as a result of capitalism. The author argues that free markets and private property rights lead to impoverishment, dictatorship and the violation of human rights.
