    • Beyond Liberal Egalitarianism

      • 386 pages

      Progressive theorists and activists insist that contemporary capitalism is deeply flawed from a normative point of view. However, most accept the liberal egalitarian thesis that the serious shortcomings of market societies (financial excess, inequality, and so on) could be overcome with proper political regulation. Building on Marx's legacy, Tony Smith argues in Beyond Liberal Egalitarianism that advocates of this thesis (Rawls, Habermas, Stiglitz, et al.) lack an adequate concept of capital and the state. These theorists also fail to comprehend new developments in world history ensuring that the 'destructive' aspects of capitalism increasingly outweigh whatever 'creative' elements it might continue to possess. Smith concludes that a normative social theory adequate to the twenty-first century must explicitly and unequivocally embrace socialism.

      The British Medical Association Family Doctor Home Adviser
    • The book defends Marxism as a vital analytical tool for understanding modern capitalism, particularly in light of the rise of lean production. This new model, focused on knowledge work and mass customization, claims to foster unity among companies, workers, and consumers. However, the author argues that these claims overlook fundamental issues inherent in capitalism. By challenging the notion that Marxian analysis is obsolete, the book reasserts the relevance of Marxian political economy in critiquing contemporary economic practices.
