The final chapter provides a summary and appraisal of the reform process of classical socialism, and takes a further look forward at the transformation that supersedes the system. The four sections of the chapter are the depth and radicalism of the changes, and the main line of causality; the incoherence of the tendencies to reform; reforms and public sentiment; and preview: the socialist system's legacy and postsocialism.
