He is known for his socially critical directing style and for his socialist ideals, which are evident in his film treatment of social issues such as poverty ("Poor Cow", 1967), homelessness ("Cathy Come Home", 1966) and labour rights ("Riff-Raff", 1991, and "The Navigators", 2001). My Name Is Joe is a 1998 British film directed by Ken Loach.  The film stars Peter Mullan as Joe Kavanagh, an unemployed recovering alcoholic in Glasgow who meets and falls in love with a health visitor.  David McKay plays his troubled friend Liam.

William Carr Smith (1857–1930) was a Church of England clergyman, best known as the rector of St James' Church, Sydney from 1896 to 1910, whose Anglo-Catholic and Christian Socialist ideals transformed Sydney's oldest church.

Albert Chavannes (February 23, 1836 – May 3, 1903) was a Swiss-born American author, philosopher, and sociologist, active primarily in the late 19th century.  He is best known for his two utopian novels, "The Future Commonwealth" and "In Brighter Climes", which discuss a fictional futuristic society, "Socioland," where the economy is governed by socialist ideals rather than capitalism, and where morality is based on social scientific experimentation, rather than traditional religion.  Chavannes was also one of the earliest social theorists to extensively discuss exchange theory, and his ideas on "magnetism" (magnetation) influenced writers such as J. William Lloyd and Ida C. Craddock. "I'm Just a Country Boy" is a song written by Fred Hellerman and Marshall Baker.  In 1954, the song was recorded by Harry Belafonte accompanied by Hugo Winterhalter And His Orchestra (RCA Victor) and released on 78 rpm and 45 rpm record.  It was the B-side of the record, "Hold 'Em Joe" (Calypso) being the A-side.  The print on the record informs us that the song was written by Fred Brooks and Marshall Barer, noting that Fred Brooks was a pseudonym for Fred Hellerman (of The Weavers fame) who was blacklisted in the McCarthy era for his socialist ideals.
