Social democratic thought is gaining increasing popularity and credibility as the failures of capitalism become increasingly difficult to ignore. But what does it really mean to live under democratic socialism? This groundbreaking book takes this important, and often overlooked, question seriously. The result is a thought-provoking, informative, and surprisingly interesting book. The future is not inevitable, and reflecting on the ideas and proposals in this book may help us build a fairer and more enjoyable world.Capitalism doesn't work. But is there a plausible alternative? The scheme offers one of these alternatives: a system in which workers control all aspects of production, and in which competitive markets and government planning coexist side by side.
