Revisioning Socialism: The Cherry Esplanade Conjecture

Chapter 5 in Contemporary Economic Theory, 1999, pp 113-142 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The monumental transition of 1989–91, in which authoritarian regimes based in revolutionary working-class movements lost state power in large parts of the world, has given rise to a new interest in reexamining the idea of socialism itself. It has given us the opportunity to pose fundamental questions in a fresh manner, and to rework the challenge to capitalism based in the Marxist tradition (which remains, I think, the only coherent alternative to free market conservatism and neoliberalism).
