The Case Against Socialism, written in the early 20th century in England, is a plain-english argument which discusses the fallacies of Socialism, shares a variety of definitions of Socialism (from socialists themselves) and delves into the various impacts Socialism has on society. Consider the following: "Under a competitive system, if I do not get satisfied by one shopkeeper, I transfer my custom to his rival. The shopkeeper knows this, and endeavours to meet my wishes. But when the State is the only shopkeeper, we shall have to be content with the commodities supplied by the State, or be satisfied by the pleasing alternative, we can do without."
