Paul Auerbach's Socialist Optimism offers an alternative political
economy for the twenty-first century. Present-day capitalism has
generated growing inequality of income and wealth, persistent high
levels of unemployment and ever-diminishing prospects for young
people. But in the absence of a positive vision of how society and
the economy might develop in the future, the present trajectory of
capitalism will never be derailed, no matter how acute the critique
of present-day developments. The detailed blueprint presented here
focuses upon the education and upbringing of children in the
context of social equality and household security. It yields a
well-defined path to human development and liberation, as well as
democratic control of working life and public affairs. Socialism as
human development gives a unity and direction to progressive
policies that are otherwise seen to be a form of pragmatic
tinkering in the context of a pervasive capitalist reality.
