Description

"Intellectually and politically engaging Renewing Socialism examines the failures of socialism in the twentieth century with candor, trenchantly explores the nature of global capitalism, and offers a vision of a reinvigorated socialism that ambitiously counters debilitating pessimism....Panitch stresses the need for refounding, reorganizing, and redemocratizing labor movements and calls for movement away from the focus on the accumulation of capital to an emphasis on the accumulation of capacities: political, economic, social, environmental, and human. As an affirmation of optimism at a time some despair, this book revitalizes socialist thought and rethinks socialist practice towards a realistic utopianism.".... back of book
