What is The Economics of Feasible Socialism about?
The first part of The Economics of Feasible Socialism demonstrates why Marx's theories provide no guide to the issues that must face economists under any realistically conceivable Socialism. The experience of communist-ruled countries, especially the former Soviet Union, is often negative: economic inefficiency, bureaucracy, despotism. The causes of these defects and possible remedies and reforms are discussed. The problems of transition, in the context of Western industrialized countries and of developing countries, is also examined, with particular attention centred on the errors of economic policy in Chile and China, amongst other countries. ** Comparative Business & Economics Economics General Cover 1 Title Page 5 Copyright Page 6 Original Title Page 7 Original Copyright Page 8 Table of Contents 9 Preface 13 A Note on the Notes 15 Introduction Socialism - Why? 17 Part 1 The Legacy of Marx 26 What Did Marx Mean by Socialism? 26 Abundance, Scarcity and the New Man 31 The Law of Value under Socialism 36 A Digression on Marxian Economics 46 Sancta Simplicitas 48 The Ex Ante Illusion 55 Quality and Quantity 59 Division of Labour 62 Material and Moral Incentives 66 The Proletariat
