Why Socialism?

Just a world-renowned theoretical physicist taking a few moments to lay down clear, concise, (depressingly relatable to the modern reader) reasoning in 1949 for why the current (western?) societal obsession with the individual and the evils of capitalism are proof that society, economy and government needs a change, and the best way forward is socialism. The article is appropriately titled ‘Why Socialism?' not How Socialism? , so it ends by acknowledging some of the challenges to implementing socialism, but after reading it, it seems all the more obvious that this change would be worth the effort.
