Jack London was one of the first writers to earn a living in part from his writings in commercial fiction magazines. London became a socialist and his writings reflect this change in his political views. In this science fiction novel the world governments are reforming into new Oligarchies. (Governments where a few elite have the power.) London predicts that the feudalism of these oligarchies caused by capitalism will eventually evolve into socialism. | The Iron Heel by Jack London, Paperback | Indigo Chapters
