Beskrivning

The Dilemmas of Social Democracies seeks to advance the eradication of poverty and the ethical construction of social democracy and sustainable peace. Howard Richards and Joanna Swanger argue that the reason that capitalism resists transformation and that social democracy is so hard to achieve is because of the philosophical and institutional underpinnings—the constitutive rules—of capitalism; the book therefore explores the historical origins of these rules, their implications for blocking progress toward social justice, and how they can be improved.

Recensioner i media

In this fascinating collection of studies of the obstacles to the realization of the deep principles of social democracy, cooperation, and sharing, the endless failures of well-meant programs of betterment are honestly faced. The key insight, reflecting movements in the human sciences generally, is to foreground the role of culture in the reproduction of the obstacles to the realization of a just world. There are no mechanisms of failure. Diagnosis is the first step to cure of pathologies, be they organic, moral, or social. In this book we have a thrilling beginning.
