Soul of Man under Socialism and Selected Critical Prose
Wilde turns Ayn Rand on her head by arguing only through Socialism can man be free enough to become creative and useful, whereby in Capitialism man spends too much time putting out the fires it causes and on which it thrives.
He seeks a non-authoritarian world whereby both government and corporations are not excessive. The power rests in guilds and not institutions.
As Fran Lebowitz writes: Capitalism came to Russia and destroyed Communism. Capitalism came to America and destroyed Democracy.
Wilde's book includes other essays which are witty and well tempered.
