- Synopsis
- While the works of Austrian economist Friedrich Hayek have long been used in efforts by the Right to discredit socialism, Burczak (economics, Denison U. ) turns the tables and identifies an "applied epistemological postmodernism" in the works of Hayek that he believes can aid in the construction of a "libertarian Marxist" socialism that incorporates Hayek's valuable recognition of factual and ethical knowledge problems in attempting to manage economies. In addition to this surprising melange of the Austrian School theories of market processes and the Marxian understandings of the relationship between class and surplus labor, Burczak mixes in an Aristotelian capability theory of justice, as described by Martha Nussbaum and Amartya Sen in The Quality of Life, that provides "an intersubjectivist method to make interpersonal comparisons of well-being.
