A Methodological Reflection on the “Thick Socialism” of Socialism after Hayek

Antonio Callari

Review of Social Economy, 2009, vol. 67, issue 3, 367-373

Abstract: This article discusses the valuable contribution that Ted Burczak's Socialism After Hayek makes to the Marxist theory of socialism by drawing on the Hayekian appreciation of markets as processes of discovery. But the article also critiques the book's acceptance of Hayek's exclusive reliance on markets as a mode of economic organisation. The article reflects on the methodological conditions that might have led the book down a path of market essentialism.
