Sommario/riassunto

This book argues that socialism could return to the centre of political life in the advanced capitalist countries by pursuing the goal of economic democracy. Its principal aim is to convince socialists and nonsocialists alike that there is both a strong moral case for economic democracy and a feasible strategy for achieving it.
