Alternatives to capitalism : proposals for a democratic economy

Alternatives to capitalism Proposals for a democratic economy

Robin Hahnel

Book - 2016

"What would a viable free and democratic society look like? Poverty, exploitation, instability, hierarchy, subordination, environmental exhaustion, radical inequalities of wealth and power-it isnot difficult to list capitalism's myriad injustices. But is there a preferable and workable alternative? 'Alternatives to capitalism: proposals for a democratic economy' presents a debate between two such possibilities: Robin Hahnel's 'participatory economics' and Erick Olin Wright's 'real utopian' socialism. It is a detailed and rewarding discussion that illuminates a range of issues and dilemmas of crucial importance to any serious effort to build a better world"--Page four of cover.
