A Future for Socialism by John E Roemer

A Future for Socialism by John E Roemer

Socialism is not dead, argues noted economist John Roemer; it is merely in need of modernizing. Roemer believes that the hallmark of socialism is egalitarianism, and he reminds us that capitalist societies face increasingly difficult problems of poverty and economic inequality. Re-energizing a debate that began in the late 1930s, he brings a new level of sophistication to the important questions of political economy, in line with contemporary theories of justice and equality.

Essential reading for those interested in rethinking the foundations of the socialist project and for those with a more academic interest in the relationship between forms of property relations and economic institutions-- Erik Olin Wright
John Roemer argues that socialism is about equality, that a democratic market socialism represents the best hope for achieving equality, and that the failure of Soviet-style planned economies does not defeat that hope. -- Joshua Cohen, Massachusetts Institute of Technology

John E. Roemer is the Elizabeth S. and A. Varick Professor of Political Science and Economics. He is a Fellow of the Econometric Society, and has been a Fellow of the Guggenheim Foundation and the Russell Sage Foundation.
