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. 606 $aMacroeconomics 606 $aEconomic policy 606 $aEconomic history 606 $aSchools of economics 606 $aEducation$xEconomic aspects 606 $aInternational economic relations 606 $aMacroeconomics and Monetary Economics 606 $aEconomic Policy 606 $aEconomic History 606 $aHeterodox Economics 606 $aEducation Economics 606 $aInternational Political Economy? 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aSchools of economics. 615 0$aEducation$xEconomic aspects. 615 0$aInternational economic relations. 615 14$aMacroeconomics and Monetary Economics. 615 24$aEconomic Policy. 615 24$aEconomic History. 615 24$aHeterodox Economics. 615 24$aEducation Economics. 615 24$aInternational Political Economy?. 676 $a335 700 $aAuerbach$b Paul$4aut$4http://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut$0120170 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910254883403321 996 $aSocialist Optimism$92100720 997 $aUNINA
