Excerpt from Studies in Socialism The following essays were first published in a Socialist daily paper in Paris, and are therefore addressed to a public not only well versed in the main theories of Socialism, but in the various questions that have arisen since Socialist ideas have ceased to be merely theories and have be come crystallised into party programmes.

Jaures does, a familiarity with these ideas, and it has therefore seemed best to prefix to a translation of his essays a summary of the funda mental Socialist theories and of the various methods advocated. Although Socialists differ upon many points, they all agree on the following main definition: Socialism is the doctrine that the means of pro duction (that is, capital, land, and raw materials, or in other words, all wealth which is used for the creation of more wealth) should not be owned by individuals, but by society.
