Sidney Webb Ordine dei libri
Sidney Webb fu un socialista ed economista britannico che co-fondò la London School of Economics e fu una figura chiave nella prima Fabian Society. I suoi scritti si concentrarono sulla riforma sociale e sulla teoria economica, e fu fondamentale nel plasmare le piattaforme politiche, inclusa quella del Partito Laburista britannico. Webb era anche noto per la sua costante ammirazione per l'Unione Sovietica e il suo regime, che si riflesse nelle sue pubblicazioni, sebbene queste più tardi furono criticate come propaganda politica.
