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. 000762859 588__ $$aOnline resource; title from PDF title page (viewed April 15, 2016) 000762859 650_0 $$aSocialism. 000762859 650_0 $$aEconomics$$xPolitical aspects. 000762859 77608 $$iPrint version:$$z9781137563941$$z113756394X$$z9781137563958$$z1137563958$$w(DLC) 2015039321$$w(OCoLC)927241518 000762859 852__ $$bebk 000762859 85640 $$3SpringerLink$$uhttps://univsouthin.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http://link.springer.com/10.1007/978-1-137-56396-5$$zOnline Access$$91397441.1 000762859 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:762859$$pGLOBAL_SET 000762859 980__ $$aEBOOK 000762859 980__ $$aBIB 000762859 982__ $$aEbook 000762859 983__ $$aOnline 000762859 994__ $$a92$$bISE
