Book: Democracy at Work by Richard Wolf
I recently read Democracy at Work by Richard Wolff. This book intended to discuss an alternative to the inequities and crises of capitalism, while avoiding the problems of Communist systems such as the USSR. In building his arguments, he tries to draw a distinction between "capitalism," "socialism" and post-capitalist society using a definition which characterizes social democratic governments and Communist systems as varying degrees of "state capitalism." Understanding which social institutions could maintain a equitable post-capitalist society deserves a lot of thought and discussion in advance. I had a number of questions, doubts and objections to points in this book. However, reading this with critical thinking may help readers work through some of the important factors in making a better society. While I'm not satisfied with the label "state capitalism," the "Fall of Communism" in 1989-92 raised important questions. Th
