Social Structures Of Direct Democracy: On The Political Economy Of Equality

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.
