This Misery of Boots is a 1907 political tract advocating socialism by H. G. Wells. Published by the Fabian Society, it is the elaboration of a 1905 essay with the same name. Its five chapters denounce private property in land and means of production, asking for their takeover by the state "not for profit, but service." It's short and straightforward in addressing the problems we still live with today after over a hundred years later. The brilliant little argument presented by Wells gives a fresh perspective to the readers about the subject and leaves one wondering what socialism means and what it should actually be.
