G. Wells is a political tract published in 1907. Using the simple image of ill-fitting boots as his starting point, Wells argues that widespread suffering is not inevitable but stems from private property in land and production. He calls for socialism—the expropriation of property by the state to serve people rather than profit. Wells challenges readers to recognize that misery is preventable and urges socialists to organize, persuade others, and work toward revolutionary change in society's fundamental structure.
