The idea of socialism has gained great popularity as an alternative to
capitalism, particularly among the young. In the last century it was
conceived as a state directed economy.Today Leftists are rethinking
socialism afresh, with a focus on a resilient civil society as the
foundation.This emphasizes democratic participation at the grass roots
and a state that facilitates popular autonomy.That at least is one version.
Michael Lebowitz, Camila Pineiro Harnecker and Dario Azzellini will
discuss these issues.Lebowitz is a Marxist economist who was an advisor
in Venezuela during the Chavez government.He has authored several books,
among which is The Socialist Alternative: Real Human Development and has
a new one coming out soon:Between Capitalism and Community.Camila
Pineiro is a Cuban social scientist who is a prominent advocate of
cooperatives in socialist construction.She put together the volume
Cooperatives and Socialism: A View from Cuba.Dario Azzellini comes from
the autonomist tradition.He has authored Communes and Workers Control in
Venezuela: Building 21st Century Socialism from Below.
