Domination, ecological crises and many other pathologies are intrinsic features of capitalism, not bugs that can be corrected. But is a better way of organizing society possible?


Marx called for a society where the ruling principle is “the full and free development of every individual”. Capitalism neither is nor can be such a society. But if we can imagine one, can we be confident it could be put into practice? The answer to both questions is an emphatic ‘Yes!’ This book makes the case for a workable model of republican socialism, a vision of socialism worth fighting for.

Tony Smith is Emeritus Professor of Philosophy and Political Science at Iowa State University. His most recent books are Globalisation: A Systematic Marxian Account and Beyond Liberal Egalitarianism: Marx and Normative Social Theory in the Twenty-First Century.
