Contrary to much Marxist thought, Everling does not view socialism
as an antithesis to capitalism, and argues that socialism is, among
other things, an objective development of capitalism. As capitalism
develops it creates the premises for social development which are
also the bases for a socialist and democratic construction of
society. Drawing on economics, urban geography, political theory
and Marxism, Social Economy: * Examines the evolution of capitalism
from its early industrial to its present urban and global forms *
Shows how Marx understood the economy as a unity of production,
distribution, exchange and consumption engaged in social
reproduction * Explores the contradictory evolution of US
corporations and urban development from 1945 to the present *
Argues that urban space involves requirements for social and
individual reproduction which extend well beyond limits inherent in
transnational corporate private appropriation Using his unique
arguments, Everling makes the case that economic expansion can now
best be secured by forms of development that take us beyond the
limits of capitalism and point towards a democratic and socialist
society.
