Tony Benn - recommendations required
Discussion
Have a look below. The author was my local MP in my youth, and was PPS to Benn.

I have his "Arguments for Socialism" collection of essays: it's hilarious.
My favourite bit is a skit about setting up some kind of worker's collective in a Glaswegian shipyard, which - even Benn admitted - was an utter failure. His conclusion is - somewhat surprisingly - that the whole scheme wasn't socialist enough.
Most of the rest of the book follows a similar theme.
I can't recommend it highly enough.
