The Possibility of a Pluralist Commonwealth and a Community-Sustaining Economy
It is increasingly obvious that the United States faces systemic economic and political challenges.1 Income and wealth disparities have become severe and corrosive of democratic possibilities. Ecological decay deepens day by day. A record number of Americans are in poverty and full employment is nowhere on the horizon. Corporate power now dominates decision-making through lobbying, uncontrolled political contributions, and political advertising. …
Building Real Utopias
In his famous 1845 eleventh thesis on Feuerbach, Karl Marx declared: “Philosophers have hitherto only interpreted the world in various ways; the point is to change it.”74 By “change” he meant syste

The Emerging Paradoxical Possibility of a Democratic Economy
This paper considers what happens in advanced industrial economies like that of the US, where traditional redistributive economic policies and programs have fallen out of favor, yet forces of crisis, which radicals once predicted would usher in a new, more egalitarian and democratic era, are well attenuated. It is argued that, paradoxically, as the growth potential of corporate capitalism declines and traditional redistributive mechanisms weaken,…
The Next Wave
One of the Federal government’s important contributions to democratic life was the establishment of the nation’s network of land grant colleges through the Morrill Act of 1862. That act and subsequent legislation led to the creation of land grant institutions in all 50 states and the District of Columbia, land grants at historically black colleges, community colleges for Native Americans, and, more recently, sea grant and space grant institutions…

Local Policy Responses to Globalization
The destabilizing forces wrought by economic globalization increasingly buffet local communities throughout America. This article explores a local policy strategy for coping with the effects of these forces and restoring some degree of stability to local economies. This strategy entails the creation of place‐based ownership models of economic enterprise. With ownership and control held in a more collective or community‐oriented fashion, such ente…

The old socialist idea and the new century
For much of the 20th century the progressive “vision” of the future in many parts of the world promoted traditional socialist theory—namely, that equality and democracy could best be achieved by a “system” in which ownership of society's wealth ("the means of production") is vested in a structure controlled by society. This “system theory” has now collapsed. The crisis of mainstream liberalism and social democracy, however, leads to a closely rel…

Rebuilding America
The New Inflation
This article argues that the Reagan economic program—budget slashing and tax cutting—is bound to fail because it does not deal with new sources of inflation. Specifically, the plan offers no solution to such fundamental initiators of inflation as food and energy price jolts, which have recurrently kicked off the price—wage spiral. Further, the policy is grounded in propositions for which there is little empirical support: people will work harder …
