Socialism: Understanding Socialism

By Kenneth Dantzler-Corbin

The concept of socialism in this book is a form of economic and social institutions defined by the social control of the means of production and the self-management of businesses by employees. Public, collective, co-operative, or equity can be social control. Socialist structures are broken into types that are non-capitalist and market. Non-market socialism replaces markets as a factor and capital with a central strategy focused on in-kind estimates. Market socialism maintains the usage of monetary costs, market conditions, and the motive for benefit. Socialist ideology, structured by progressive groups and contrary to party politics, has become both internationalist and imperialist in orientation. A Keynesian mixed economy within a largely integrated capitalist market economy has been adopted since the post-war era. By the late 19th century, the book often explores why socialism has come to represent resistance to capitalism and advocacy of a post-capitalist structure focused on the means of production's social control. Socialist parties and concepts remain a democratic force on all continents with different degrees of control and impact. The causes of other social revolutions, such as environmentalism, communism, and progressivism, have also been embraced by many leftists.
