Description

This collection of articles explores the theoretical challenges faced by socialist movements in recent years. The authors examine the economic weaknesses of both Leninist communism and social democracy, and argue for an alternative approach to overcome these weaknesses.

They consider how the struggle for popular democracy can be integrated into the goals of a new movement, and what economic policy should be adopted to achieve this. This book provides a thought-provoking analysis of the current state of socialist theory and practice.

Written over several years, these articles offer a unique perspective on the challenges facing socialist movements today. They are an important contribution to ongoing debates about the future of socialism and its relationship to democracy and economics.
