Description

Explore the deep economic debate surrounding market socialism with this academic text from Edward Elgar Publishing. This book provides a focused study on the theory of socialism and the specific role of the labour-managed firm. It presents an argument that market socialism represents the only rational form of socialism, further suggesting that incorporating labour-managed firms creates the most effective version of this economic model. The text is structured to guide readers through a comprehensive review of existing economic theories. It moves from a critical analysis of previous contributions to a detailed discussion of the economic theory of labour-managed firms. Readers will find detailed examinations of specific economic challenges, including the adverse labour-supply curve, issues with underinvestment, monitoring processes, and the separation of ownership. This is a significant resource for those studying economics, business, and law.
