Finally! A viable alternative.

I’m glad someone finally put something together articulating ideas that go beyond the “market capitalism vs. state socialism” false dichotomy that we’re brought up to believe. There are other viable alternatives.

I like that Dr. Wolff does not claim this to be a perfect solution, or one that won’t require some struggle, sacrifice, and setbacks. He makes careful note of the kinds of obstacles his proposal (workers’ self-directed enterprises) would have to overcome, obstacles that I would expect a conventional capitalist would cite as well.

I think both capitalists and socialists of all stripes can find some good ideas in this book worth considering. Give it a listen. You might be surprised.
