β¦ Synopsis
This book is our attempt to answer the idea that socialism is dead and buried after the demise of the Soviet Union.
The core of the book consists of a series of chapters spelling out what we believe would be efficient and democratic methods for planning a complex economy. We also examine issues of inequality and its elimination, systems of payment for labour, a democratic political constitution for a socialist commonwealth, the commune as a set of arrangements for living, and property relations under socialism.
Paul Cockshott has studied economics and later computer science at Heriot-Watt University and Edinburgh University, and has worked as a researcher and lecturer at the universities of Edinburgh, Heriot-Watt, Glasgow and Strathclyde. He is an Honorary Fellow at the University of Glasgow.
