Market Socialism and Cooperatives

Howard, Michael W. Self-Management and the Crisis of Socialism (Rowman & Littlefield, 2000), available with table of contents at: http://www.rowmanlittlefield.com/Catalog/SingleBook.shtml? command=Search&db=^DB/CATALOG.db&eqSKUdata=0847689050 You can buy it (the private method), get your library to order it (put it in the commons), or ask me for electronic copies of chapters.

A short updated version of the chapter on cooperatives as a microcosm of socialism is on my homepage, as “Worker-Controlled Workplaces”: http://www.umaine.edu/philosophy/mikehoward/default.htm

Howard, Michael W., (ed.), Socialism (Humanity Press, 2001), more information, table of contents, and links at: http://www.umaine.edu/philosophy/mikehoward/socbook/booklinks.htm

See also my Socialism website for links to some chapters of both books, and links to other sites concerning socialism, anarchism, economic democracy, etc. http://www.umaine.edu/philosophy/mikehoward/socbook/underconstruction.htm

Schweickart, David, After Capitalism (economic democracy, a cooperative alternative) Roemer, John, A Future for Socialism (socialization of the stock market) Summaries and discussion of these are in my Self-management book; and an article by Schweickart, as well as one by Parecon advocate Robin Hahnel are in my anthology Socialism.
