Description: Envisioning Real Utopias, Paperback by Wright, Erik Olin, ISBN 184467617X, ISBN-13 9781844676170, Brand New, Free shipping in the US Wright (sociology, U. of Wisconsin) believes that socialism must come to replace capitalism, because capitalism obstructs the realization of both social justice and political justice. However, the traditional Marxist approach to the problem is inadequate and what is instead needed is a means of increasing social empowerment over the economy through a variety of institutional and structural transformations, the outlines of which can perhaps be seen in what he calls "real utopias," examples of rationally transformed social institutions that increase or could reasonably be expected to increase social empowerment, examples of which include participatory city budgeting, Wikipedia, the Mondragon worker-owned cooperatives in Spain, and the idea of the unconditional basic income for all. He also compares ruptural, interstitial, and symbiotic strategies of social transformation. Annotation ©2011 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR ()
