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.MacroeconomicsEconomic policyEconomic historySchools of economicsEducationEconomic aspectsInternational economic relationsMacroeconomics and Monetary EconomicsEconomic PolicyEconomic HistoryHeterodox EconomicsEducation EconomicsInternational Political Economy’Macroeconomics.Economic policy.Economic history.Schools of economics.EducationEconomic aspects.International economic relations.Macroeconomics and Monetary Economics.Economic Policy.Economic History.Heterodox Economics.Education Economics.International Political Economy’.335Auerbach Paulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut120170BOOK9910254883403321Socialist Optimism2100720UNINA
