  A contemporary look at Albert Einstein's classic call for socialism 
   
   
   
  First published more than seventy-five years ago in the inaugural issue of Monthly Review: An Independent Socialist Magazine, Albert Einstein's "Why Socialism?" is an unheralded classic. Written during the McCarthyite witch-hunt in the United States, it constituted an act of defiance, making a case for socialism unrivaled in its time or ours. Yet, its very existence has been an embarrassment to an establishment which has continually sought to downplay the significance of his iconoclastic essay, together with Einstein's socialism itself. 
   
   
   
  This volume includes Einstein's essay along with a detailed commentary on his essay by Monthly Review editor, John Bellamy Foster. Foster's introduction tells the story of Einstein's life-long commitment to socialism and the events leading to the publication of "Why Socialism?" and contextualizes the importance of his essay as we enter a time of planetary crisis and new threats of world war. Over the three-quarters of century since its publication, "Why Socialism?" is one of those rare statements whose power has only grown, reaching untold numbers of readers over the years. It is of crucial importance that―for the sake of the future of humanity―Einstein's message continues to proliferate.

  The Unbearable Frenchness of Being: Albert Camus's Expensive Depression for Beginners 
  Finally, a philosophy book that admits what we're all thinking: Camus was basically a very attractive man who turned "nothing matters" into a career. 
  Ever wondered why your college roommate won't shut up about The Stranger? Curious about why French intellectuals spent the 1950s chain-smoking and arguing about whether you should kill yourself? Want to sound smart at dinner parties without actually reading 800 pages of dense existential philosophy? 
  Welcome to the only Camus guide you'll ever need and the only one honest enough to admit that "imagine Sisyphus happy" is either profound wisdom or the philosophical equivalent of "good vibes only." 
  Inside, you'll discover: 
  Why Meursault shooting someone because the sun was too bright is apparently literature 
  How Camus wrote 300 pages about plague and somehow made mass death boring 
  The most pretentious friendship breakup in philosophy history (Camus vs. Sartre: now with 100% more formal French pronouns) 
  Why the Mediterranean is the answer to existential dread (spoiler: it's not, but the beaches are nice) 
  How to be an absurd hero in four easy steps (Step 3: Feel superior to everyone who hasn't read Camus) 
  The philosophical question of whether you should kill yourself (fun guy at parties!) 
  Perfect for: 
  Philosophy students who need to understand Camus but can't stay awake through the actual texts 
  Former philosophy students still traumatized by Being and Nothingness 
  Anyone who's ever pretended to have read The Stranger in its entirety 
  People who enjoy their existential crises with a side of sarcasm 
  Listeners who think "nothing matters" but still want to feel intellectually superior about it 
  This isn't your professor's philosophy textbook.
