[URPE] Intro to socialism?

[Bhkramer at aol.com]

Friends,
 
A few of my community college students have expressed curiousity about how 
things would work in an economy where workers rather than owners received the 
surplus value. "Wouldn't that destroy the profit motive?" Etc. And there's 
neither time nor political space for me to do any kind of serious answer in class.
 
Is there a book/video/etc. that does a good introduction to socialism in a 
non-pedantic, accessible way? Think of a 10th-grade reading and world experience 
level, even though some of these students are more sophisticated than that.
 
Thanks!
 
Brent Kramer
