Outline of socialism

The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to socialism:

Socialism – range of economic and social systems characterised by social ownership of the means of production and workers' self-management as well as the political theories and movements associated with them.

Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen ownership of equity. Socialism has numerous variants and so no single definition encapsulating all of them exists, with its definition subject to ongoing academic scrutiny and redefining, although social ownership acts as a common element shared by its various forms.
