Produktinformationen zu „Socialist Optimism (PDF)“
Paul Auerbach's Socialist Optimism offers an alternative political economy for the twenty-first century. Present-day capitalism has generated growing inequality of income and wealth, persistent high levels of unemployment and ever-diminishing prospects for young people. But in the absence of a positive vision of how society and the economy might develop in the future, the present trajectory of capitalism will never be derailed, no matter how acute the critique of present-day developments.
The detailed blueprint presented here focuses upon the education and upbringing of children in the context of social equality and household security. It yields a well-defined path to human development and liberation, as well as democratic control of working life and public affairs. Socialism as human development gives a unity and direction to progressive policies that are otherwise seen to be a form of pragmatic tinkering in the context of a pervasive capitalist reality.

Pressezitat
“Auerbach (Kingston Univ., UK) begins with a blunt description of present-day capitalism as a system of instability and dysfunction, producing inequality, unemployment, and diminishing prospects. Socialist Optimism offers an alternative vision for the future, one that rejects free-market neoliberalism, Keynesian managed capitalism, and traditional concepts of socialism as central planning. … It offers a pathway into the future that is both possible and profoundly transformative. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty.” (R. Hudelson, Choice, Vol. 54 (3), November, 2016)Kommentar zu "Socialist Optimism"
