Three case studies of socialism are explored: Great Britain, Sweden, and Israel. The case studies are designed to answer questions concerning the what, how, how- much, and for whom of production. The intent of the unit is to allow students to place the socialist concept into its proper perspective, to understand it, and compare it to other forms of government. The content of the document includes an introduction to the unit; essential materials for teaching the unit; suggested teaching procedures and strategies; knowledge, skill, and behavioral objectives; learning activities; and supplementary readings for both students and teachers.
