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[10] as well as the political theories and movements associated with them.
[11] Social ownership can be public, collective or cooperative ownership, or citizen ownership of equity.
[12] Socialism has numerous variants and so no single definition encapsulating all of them exists,[13] with its definition subject to ongoing academic scrutiny and redefining,[14] although social ownership acts as a common element shared by its various forms.
