Thanks to Jim for featuring the concepts in my book /From Capitalism to
Equality/ when he spoke to the Unitarians.
I'll never forget U. Utah Phillips talking about how dogmatic the
Unitarians are. He angered them once, and they burned a question mark on
his lawn.
The model offered in the last two chapters is just that, a workable
economic model. It was also intended to break through the impasse of
planning versus market. If the model in all its details were taken as
the only way to go, it would indeed be a utopian recipe.
So what are the essential principles of an economic program for the
United States? I've tried to answer that in my book just now coming out,
/No Rich, No Poor: Why a failed economy must give way to a program of
common prosperity/. (It's available through your bookstore and the major
book outlets.)
The new book also explains the barriers that block mass prosperity under
capitalism today. Examining the history of capitalist accumulation, the
changing nature of labor, and crucial differences between pre-capitalist
societies and capitalism, it shows why there has not been a big reform
victory in the United States for so many years.
