Is socialism morally superior to other systems of political economy, even if it faces practical difficulties? In The End of Socialism, James R. Otteson explores socialism as a system of political economy - that is, from the perspectives of both moral philosophy and economic theory. He examines the exact nature of the practical difficulties socialism faces, which turn out to be greater than one might initially suppose, and then asks whether the moral ideals it champions - equality, fairness, and community - are important enough to warrant attempts to overcome these difficulties nonetheless, especially in light of the alleged moral failings of capitalism. The result is an examination of the 'end of socialism', both in the sense of the moral goals it proposes and in the results of its unfolding logic

THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT ARGUMENTS FOR WORKERS' CONTROL AND THEY ARE NOT RESTRICTED TO THE POLITICAL LEFT. THEY RANGE FROM CONTROL AS A MEANS TO A PRACTICAL OR REVOLUTION ARY END TO CONTROL AS A MEANS TO A FULLER SOCIAL LIFE. A DISTINCTION MUST BE MADE BETWEEN PARTICIPATION AND CONTROL. ARGUMENTS FOR WORKERS' CONTROL REVIVED IN BRITAIN, THOUGH THE MOVEMENT'S DEVELOPMENTS REMAINED VARIED.

The departure of the French Socialists from the government early in 1950, even though they returned in a few months, marked the end of a stage of postwar history in Europe. For the first time since liberation France was governed by a coalition in which the Socialists were no longer represented. At the same time the Socialists were in the opposition in Belgiumand Western Germany as well and limited to little influence upon the Italian and Swiss governments. Austria, Great Britain, and Scandinavia were the only countries in which the Socialists are strongly represented in their governments. Roughly speaking then, Europe is divided into three zones according to the degree of power of democratic socialism: Eastern Europe—bordered on the West by a line running from Trieste to Lübeck—where the democratic Socialist parties have been absorbed by the Communist parties; Northwestern Europe—Great Britain and the Scandinavian countries (Norway, Sweden, Denmark)—under predominant Socialist influence; and the rest of Continental Europe where the the Socialists are a more or less powerful opposition group. Spain and Portugal in the South and Greece and Turkey in the Southeast are left outside ofthe scope of our study owing to the peculiar and non-democratic structure of these countries.

While later generations of Marxian scientific socialists saw sex as secondary, derivative of the real relationships of production, many of the earliest socialist theorists and movements took sexual matters very seriously. Thus, in many ways, the advent of Marxian socialism represented something of a step backward in the development of a radical sexual politics. However, in the twentieth century, old divisions on the sex question within the left soon reappeared.

A model of market socialism is proposed as a type of politico-economic system in which the government can intervene in the economy to control investment so that public-owned firms can be managed to maximize profits, which are then divided equally among all households as a type of social dividend or guaranteed income. Components of market socialism are detailed, & issues of taxation, market allocation of commodities & resources, education, innovations, & development of a just society of self-realized citizens are discussed. It is argued that citizens of a market socialist society, unlike those of a capitalist society, would not sacrifice social welfare, world peace, & the global environment to increase corporate profits. In Comment, Joanne Barkan & David Belkin detail flaws in each of five features of the model: government control over investment; public ownership of the means of production; workers' control over management; private ownership; & politics in the absence of a capitalist class. It is concluded that Roemer's initial assumptions are too broad & universal to be applied, & set up a rigid bureaucratic structure with doubtful socialist content. In Reply, Roemer defends each feature of his model, refutes critical arguments, & asserts that his proposed blueprint, a synthesis of the work of several economists, offers a means to improve the quality of life for society. 2 References.
