Republic of Equals

Predistribution and Property-Owning Democracy

• Gebundenes Buch

Produktbeschreibung

This first book length study of property-owning democracy argues that a society in which capital is universally accessible to all citizens uniquely meets the demands of justice. It defends a renovated form of capitalism in which the free market is no longer a threat to social democratic values, but is potentially convergent with them.
