Would Democratic Socialism Be Better?

Mehr zum Buch

Focusing on the performance of capitalist economies, Lane Kenworthy analyzes 15 critical outcomes that democratic socialists advocate for, including poverty eradication, job creation, and economic equality. He explores the effectiveness of social democratic capitalism, particularly the Nordic model, in achieving these goals. Through evidence and analysis, Kenworthy argues that capitalism has been more successful in addressing these issues than many democratic socialists acknowledge, offering a nuanced perspective on the viability of democratic socialism.
