  1. 1. After Capitalism

    The author critiques capitalism’s inequality and instability and outlines a practical alternative of “economic democracy” in which firms are worker‑managed, markets allocate consumer goods, investment is subject to social control (via public banking and democratic oversight), and returns to collective capital are redistributed as a social dividend while incomes are constrained to reduce extreme inequality — a system designed to preserve market coordination but eliminate private ownership of productive capital, promote workplace democracy, full employment, stability, and greater social and ecological responsibility.
