Against Capitalism

David Schweickart

4.9/5 (11030 ratings)

Description:Studies in Marxism & Social TheoryThis book is a completely rewritten version of the author's earlier Capitalism or Worker Control? (published in 1980). Its central thesis is that, despite the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe & the break-up of the USSR, capitalism cannot be justified on either economic or ethical grounds. There's in fact an alternative to capitalism that promises greater efficiency & equality, more rational growth, democracy & meaningful work. This alternative, Economic Democracy, is market socialism with decentralised investment planning & workplace democracy. Professor Schweickart compares this model with other models-- laissez-faire conservatism, the Keynesian welfare state & neo-liberalism--& argues that it's superior on every count. He also sketches out a possible transition from advanced capitalism, from what is left of the centrally planned economies, & from 3rd World underdevelopment, to Economic Democracy. The author concludes with some reflections on Marx's communism, as historical materialism & on the future of Marxism.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
