After Capitalism

Economic Democracy, as proposed by David Schweickart, presents a compelling alternative to capitalism by merging market efficiency with enhanced workplace democracy and investment structures. The updated second edition responds to the challenges of globalization and rising debates on entrepreneurship, featuring a new preface, refreshed data, and reorganized chapters. It addresses contemporary issues such as economic instability, the current crisis, and China's role in the global economy. Schweickart's analysis combines theoretical insights with empirical research to demonstrate the model's relevance today.
