Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Socialism Exposed and Refuted The following pages form a chapter of the author's famous work on "Moral Philosophy." It was published separately in the original, and met with the most cordial reception. Not only were five large editions called for in less than two years, but translations were published in French, Italian, Spanish, Polish, and Flemish, which promise to rival the original in popularity. It has become a work of truly international fame. The chief value of this little work is in the fact that it goes to the true sources of socialism, whether considered as a scientific economic theory or as a living social and political movement. There is nothing second-hand about it. The author did not shrink from the toil of examining the most voluminous and abstruse works as well as the ephemeral productions of the daily press and of socialistic oratory. Socialists themselves give him credit for having interpreted their meaning and their aims more faithfully and accurately than some of their own followers. It is this accurate interpretation of the principles and policy of socialism that gives a universal and permanent value to Father Cathrein's treatise.
