Economic Democracy

Book: Economic Democracy: A Worthy Socialism that Would Really Work. by David Schweickart

Description

David Schweickart:

“A Worthy Socialism” was intended to demonstrate rigorously that there is an alternative, at least in theory: an economically viable form of socialism that would be more democratic than capitalism and at least as efficient. Against Capitalism made the same point, but extended the argument further. Economic Democracy would be not only as efficient as capitalism and more democratic, but also more rational in its growth, more stable, more egalitarian, less prone to high unemployment, more ecologically friendly. I was sick of hearing even progressives say that “we are going to have to stop using the term ‘capitalist economy’ as if we knew what a functioning non-capitalist economy would look like.” (http://www.solidarityeconomy.net/2006/10/25/economic-democracy-a-worthy-socialism-that-would-work/)
