In the twentieth century there were two great political and social
paradigms, the liberal-democratic and the libertarian (in its
various socialist, anarchist, and communist delineations). The
central idea of the first approach is isonomy: the exclusion of any
discrimination on the basis that legal rights are afforded equally
to all people. The central idea of the second approach is rather to
acknowledge and address a broader spectrum of known inequalities.
Such an approach, Bellanca argues, allows the pursuit of pluralism
as well as a more realistic and complex view of what equality is.
Here he analyzes the main economic and political institutions of an
isocratic society, and in so doing, effectively outlines how a
utopian society can be structurally and anthropologically realized.
This book is ideal reading for an audience interested in the
critique of contemporary capitalism through a renewed perspective
of democratic socialism and leftist libertarianism. Nicolo Bellanca
is Associate Professor of Development Economics at the University
of Florence, Italy. He is the author of a broad array of scholarly
articles, books and textbooks about both the history of economic
thought and development economics. His current research focuses on
the theory of institutional change.
