商品描述

In this volume, the authors reflect on the question "what is socialism" as it pertains to today's economy. There is particular emphasis on democratic socialism models as a potential alternative to classic authoritarian socialism. A number of topical questions are addressed such as: What is democratic socialism and is it feasible, or even viable? What can be learnt from existing democratic socialist experiences? What would an ideal democratic socialist society look like today? Under what circumstances, and where, could such a model emerge today? In exploring these questions, several themes arise within these chapters such as the role of socialist values and inspirations in capitalist societies; and how capitalism and socialism relate to the knowledge economy.

The contemporary world is showing many contradictions with uncertain future scenarios that preoccupy mankind. The global capitalist system as we know it is in deep crisis--and some even predict its slow death, because of its inability to handle the environmental imperative. At the same time, classic socialism as experienced in the Soviet Union and its proxies is a stone dead alternative to capitalism today. So what options remain? The book considers this question as it examines a range of countries where socialism (in one form or another) has arisen, or where democratic socialism could be possible, including Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Sweden and the United States.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

在這本書中,作者反思了「社會主義是什麼」這個問題,並探討其與當今經濟的關聯。特別強調民主社會主義模型作為經典威權主義社會主義的潛在替代方案。書中針對一些當前的問題進行了探討,例如:什麼是民主社會主義?它是否可行,甚至可持續?我們可以從現有的民主社會主義經驗中學到什麼?今天理想的民主社會主義社會會是什麼樣子?在什麼情況下,在哪裡,這樣的模型今天可能會出現?在探索這些問題的過程中,幾個主題在這些章節中浮現,例如社會主義價值觀和靈感在資本主義社會中的角色;以及資本主義和社會主義如何與知識經濟相關聯。

當代世界顯示出許多矛盾,未來的情景充滿不確定性,讓人類感到困擾。全球資本主義系統正處於深度危機之中——有些人甚至預測它將緩慢死亡,因為它無法應對環境的迫切需求。與此同時,經典社會主義在蘇聯及其代理國的經歷,對於今天的資本主義來說已經是完全無法接受的替代方案。那麼,還剩下什麼選擇?本書考慮了這個問題,並檢視了一系列社會主義(以某種形式)出現的國家,或是民主社會主義可能出現的國家,包括巴西、智利、古巴、瑞典和美國。
