Market socialism

India’s ideal (regarding socialism) is that most, or all, of the major industries are owned and operated by the government, rather than the individual. India has excessive government control and ownership within the country, which is doing the country more harm than good (as we will see later on). Government-controlled businesses accounted for around 43% of India’s capital stock, and the productivity of these entities was substantially less than that of the private ones. This low productivity in…

Throughout the late 1800s and early 1900s, Europe was undoubtedly the most developed continent on Earth. With the introduction of the industrial revolution in many European countries, citizens migrated to labour opportunities in larger cities, which promised higher standards of living, rather than working in the country for low wages. This…

policy to that of the Thatcher governments, such as increased privatisation, reduced public spending, an acceptance of the free market, and a departure from traditional Labour policies such as nationalisation and interventionist economics. It will also be the case that these changes were made for electoral purposes, due to the legacy of the Thatcher government, which changed the voting preferences of the electorate, and not due to globalisation, and hence we will not see the same reaction…

Arguing against Marxism, P&W determine that it is possible to distribute wealth and increase investment simultaneously. The second theory examines the welfare of workers in either a socialist or democratic capitalist society.
