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 economicsEducation—Economic aspectsPolitical economyMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000Economic Policyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010Economic Historyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000Heterodox Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W53000Education Economicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W36000International Political Economyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140Macroeconomics.Economic policy.Economic history.Schools of economics.Education—Economic aspects.Political economy.Macroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics.Economic Policy.Economic History.Heterodox Economics.Education Economics.International Political Economy.335Auerbach Paulauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut120170BOOK9910254883403321Socialist Optimism2100720UNINA
