Recenzje

"This accessible introduction to the philosophy and practicality of market socialism is a must-read for anyone interested in building a more just and more free society."Matt Bruenig, People's Policy Project"In this splendid new book, William Edmundson develops the social contract tradition to show how only a socialist society enables individuals to flourish. He makes such a clear and compelling case for socialism that no liberal who is truly committed to individual freedom, equality, and reciprocity can possibly resist."Lea Ypi, London School of Economics
