Synopsis

Back cover reads: The Tory monetarists have sent the economy into a nose-dive. As unemployment mounts to over two million; as each week brings new announcements of closures by major firms; as public services are slashed, the questions becomes ever more pressing - is there another way of running the economy? Is there an alternative to monetarism which can hold out some hope of creating jobs, regenerating industry, bringing rising living standards and giving working people greater control over their lives? This book, written by a working group of the Conference of Social Economists argues that there is an alternative, but it can only be achieved through a radical transformation of the economy in a socialist direction. It takes as its starting point the elements of an Alternative Economic Strategy put forward within the Labour and trade union movement since the mid-seventies. It sets out, perhaps for the first time in a full length book, the detailed analysis underlying this strategy and discusses and develops both the policies and the politics of economic strategy.
