“Socialist Ends and Market Means?” Webinar
Understood as state or collective ownership of the means of production, socialism seems entirely incompatible with a commitment to markets. But there’s an older, more inclusive understanding of socialism in accordance with which socialism and markets aren’t at odds at all and markets provide active means to achieving socialist goals. In this webinar with Gary Chartier, facilitated by South Asia Students for Liberty, we’ll discuss that older understanding, especially exemplified in the work of the great 19th century radical Benjamin Tucker
