*The Open Political Economy Group (OPEG) of the Open University invites you to a panel discussion on Paul Auerbach's new book, entitled:*
*Socialist Optimism:*
*An Alternative Political Economy for the 20th century*
7th December 2016
18:00-20:00pm
Bloomsbury Room (Room 35)
Senate House, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HU
Paul Auerbach's Socialist Optimism offers an alternative political economy for the twenty-first century. Present-day capitalism has generated growing inequality of income and wealth, persistent high levels of unemployment and ever-diminishing prospects for young people. But in the absence of a positive vision of how society and the economy might develop in the future, the present trajectory of capitalism will never be derailed, no matter how acute the critique of present-day developments. The detailed blueprint presented here focuses upon the education and upbringing of children in the context of social equality and household security. It yields a well-defined path to human development and liberation, as well as democratic control of working life and public affairs.
*Discussion Panel:*
*Dr. Paul Auerbach,* Kingston University, UK.
*Dr. Constantinos Repapis*, Institute of Management Studies, Goldsmiths, UK.
*Dr. Dimitris P. Sotiropoulos*, The Open University Business School, UK.
