Socialism, the pundits insist, is at best a noble delusion. Good in theory - maybe - but provendisastrous by over a century of experimentation. The Blueprint will present a vision for socialist politics inthe twenty-first century, offering not only a critique of contemporary capitalism but a description of aviable economic model that features both expansive social welfare guarantees, worker-managed firms,and the innovation that comes from market competition. Based on the real experiences of socialdemocracy and the cooperative movement, we can envision a better world, and outline concrete steps toget there.
