"Nice idea, but it doesn't work in practice." How often have
socialists had this claim thrown back at them? And now, after the
events of 1989, many of the Left are openly wondering what a
defensible idea of socialism would be. This work addresses this
question, taking as its point of departure John Roemer's model of
"coupon socialism". Roemer's model aims to combine the market with
a commitment to equality through a simple, yet starkly radical,
proposal: all citizens would receive an equal number of coupons
with which to buy ownership rights (voting, dividends) in
companies. These coupons would constitute a second, separate form
of currency, but could not be exchanged for ordinary money, nor
transferred to other people. Not all the contributors to this
collection endorse Roemer's working model of market socialism, but
they are all stimulated by his foray into a "real utopia".
