"The Plow and the Sickle: Ten Lectures on Social Issues" is a collection of essays consisting of ten lectures by Lawrence Housman. In this book, the author examines various aspects of modern society, from politics to culture, from economics to art.

In each lecture, he provokes the reader to think about what transformations can take place in our society if we really understand its problems. "The Plow and the Sickle: Ten Lectures on Social Issues" is a book that will interest not only specialists in the field of sociology and politics, but also all those who are interested in the modern world and its transformations.
