Description
Market Socialism is a theory that advocates for a market-based economy in which the state plays a minimal role. There are two camps in the debate over Market Socialism- those who support it and those who oppose it. The book contains essays from four different authors who present both sides of the argument.
Aside from Post Modernism, probably the hottest topic today among socialist scholars world-wide is Market Socialism. In this book, four leading socialist scholars present both sides of the debate--two for, and two against--highlighting the different perspectives from which Market Socialism has been viewed. Arguing in favor of Market Socialism are the philosophers David Schweickart and James Lawler. While opposing them and Market Socialism are the political economist Hillel Ticktin and the political theorist Bertell Ollman. The evidence and arguments found in this book will prove invaluable to readers interested in the future of socialism.
