Economic democracy is essential for creating a truly democratic
political sphere. This engaging book uses Marxist theory to
hypothesise that capitalism is not a democratic system, and that a
modern socialist system of producer cooperatives and democratically
managed enterprises is urgently needed. A New Model of Socialism
focuses on the current crisis of the political Left, a result of
the collapse of the Soviet model of society and the decline of
statism and kingship. Bruno Jossa expands on existing theories to
explore Marx?s notions on economic democracy in a modern setting.
He advocates a move away from the centralised planning form of
economic socialism towards a self-management system for firms that
does not prioritise the interests of one class over another, in
order to achieve greater economic democracy. It is argued that the
establishment of such a system of democratic firms is the
precondition for reducing intervention in the economy, thus
enabling the State to perform its ultimate function of serving the
public interest. This timely book is ideal for advanced scholars of
Marxist, radical and heterodox economic theory, as well as
academics with an interest in the rise of socialism in our modern
world. Indeed, it will also be of value to all those seeking a
viable and practical alternative to existing capitalist and
socialist thinking.
