Summary "Socialism and the Social Movement in the 19th Century" by Werner Sombart is a scientific publication written in the late 19th century. This work provides a comprehensive examination of the emergence and evolution of socialism as a significant social movement during that period, delving into its historical roots, key theorists, and the socio-economic conditions that facilitated its growth. The text is not merely an overview of socialist theories but rather presents a critical exploration of social movements that arose in response to transformative economic realities. The opening of the text outlines Sombart's view of social movements, emphasizing the role of social classes—primarily the proletariat—as pivotal forces in striving for a reformed social order to better serve their interests. He introduces the concept that social movements emerge from a dynamic interplay between existing socioeconomic systems and the discontent experienced by particular social classes. Notably, Sombart contends that the modern social movement is deeply intertwined with capitalism, positing that the very existence of the proletariat is a byproduct of capitalist production methods. Through this lens, he sets the stage to explore how these laboring classes organized and sought change, providing insights that would shape the discourse on socialism in both theory and practice.
