Harrington's Why We Need Socialism in America Now Available Online

For those of you who are not acquainted with the important work of Michael Harrington, a short, immensely readable, occasionally rather quaint period piece, Why We Need Socialism in America is now available online for free perusal. The piece was published in Dissent Magazine in 1970, and is something of a condensed and simplified version of Harrington's influential book Socialism (which I definitely recommend, along with other works of his, for those who are inspired to explore Harrington's memorable contribution to democratic left politics in America more deeply).
