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?Economic aspects 606 $aPolitical economy 606 $aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W32000 606 $aEconomic Policy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W34010 606 $aEconomic History$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W41000 606 $aHeterodox Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W53000 606 $aEducation Economics$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/W36000 606 $aInternational Political Economy$3https://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/912140 615 0$aMacroeconomics. 615 0$aEconomic policy. 615 0$aEconomic history. 615 0$aSchools of economics. 615 0$aEducation?Economic aspects. 615 0$aPolitical economy. 615 14$aMacroeconomics/Monetary Economics//Financial 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
