Neoliberalism has pushed capitalism to its limits, while people have no voice. John Asimakopoulos addresses the problem with a theory to practice model that reconciles Marxism, with its diverse radical currents, and democratic theory. He develops a political economy of structural equality in large-scale society making strong empirical arguments for radical transformation. Asimakopoulos shows that an egalitarian society leads to greater innovation, sustainable economic growth and positive social benefits in contrast to economies based on individualism and competition.
John Asimakopoulos, Ph.D., is Full Professor of Sociology at the City University of New York and executive director of the Transformative Studies Institute (TSI), an educational think tank. He has advanced degrees in and has taught sociology, political science, and economics resulting in a unique interdisciplinary perspective. Asimakopoulos is author of Revolt! and The Accumulation of Freedom. He has published many journal articles, book chapters, and is editor in chief of Theory in Action, an interdisciplinary peer-reviewed journal focusing on scholar-activism.
