The central thesis of this book is that although socialism disintegrated and collapsed in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, and capitalism was not defended on the basis of economics and ethics, in fact, there is some alternative to capitalism that can promise More efficiency, more reasonable growth, and more equality, democracy, and meaningful work. The author calls this alternative "economic democracy", which is a kind of market socialism with a decentralized investment plan and "workshop democracy." The author compares his own model with laissez-faire conservatism, Keynes's welfare state, and contemporary "neo-liberalism". He considers his model to be superior in almost every point, and analyzes the development from Capitalism, the legacy of a centrally planned economy, and the possibility of transitioning to "economic democracy" in the third world underdeveloped countries. The author also looks to the future of communism, historical materialism, and Marxism.
