| Abstract | "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. |
