Social Economy: The Logic of Capitalist

Is socialism an objective development of capitalism? Contrary to much Marxist thought, Clark Everling does not view socialism as an antithesis to capitalism. Drawing on economics, urban geography, political theory and even Marxism itself,Social Economyargues that as capitalism develops it creates the premises for social development, which are also the bases for a socialist and democratic construction of society. Using these unique arguments, Everling makes the case that economic expansion can now best be secured by forms of development that take us beyond the limits of capitalism and point towards a democratic and socialist society.
