Rezensionen

"Auerbach (Kingston Univ., UK) begins with a blunt description of present-day capitalism as a system of instability and dysfunction, producing inequality, unemployment, and diminishing prospects. Socialist Optimism offers an alternative vision for the future, one that rejects free-market neoliberalism, Keynesian managed capitalism, and traditional concepts of socialism as central planning. ... It offers a pathway into the future that is both possible and profoundly transformative. Summing Up: Recommended. Upper-division undergraduates through faculty." (R. Hudelson, Choice, Vol. 54 (3), November, 2016)
