David Schweickart calls this system Economic Democracy, a successor-system to capitalism which preserves the efficiency strengths of a market economy while extending democracy to the workplace and to the structures of investment finance. In the second edition, Schweickart recognizes that increased globalization of companies has created greater than ever interdependent economies and the debate about the desirability of entrepreneurship is escalating. The new edition includes a new preface, completely updated data, reorganized chapters, and new sections on the economic instability of capitalism, the current economic crisis, and China. Drawing on both theoretical and empirical research, Schweickart shows how and why this model is efficient, dynamic, and applicable in the world today.New critical theory.DemocracyCapitalismSocialismElectronic books.Democracy.Capitalism.Socialism.320.53/1Schweickart David118456MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910457611303321After Capitalism692561UNINA
