Introduction -- Possible Socialisms and the Challenges of the Globalizing Learning Economy in the Anthropocene Age -- Social Democracy and the Fate of the Swedish Model -- The Rise of Socialism in the United States: American ‘Exceptionalism’ and the Left After 2016 -- The Allende Government’s Attempt to Achieve Major Transformations in Chile: Lessons from Hope and Failure -- Reflections on Socialism -- A Tribute to Paul Singer: A Socialist Activist -- Cuban Socialism at 60: Old Aspirations and New Realities -- Who Can Save Us From Ourselves? -- Ecosocialism – A Radical Alternative -- Towards a Technology of Socialist Inspiration -- Reflections on the Socialism of Yesterday, Today and Tomorrow -- Index.

In this volume, the authors reflect on the question “what is socialism” as it pertains to today’s economy. There is particular emphasis on democratic socialism models as a potential alternative to classic authoritarian socialism. A number of topical questions are addressed such as: What is democratic socialism and is it feasible, or even viable? What can be learnt from existing democratic socialist experiences? What would an ideal democratic socialist society look like today? Under what circumstances, and where, could such a model emerge today? In exploring these questions, several themes arise within these chapters such as the role of socialist values and inspirations in capitalist societies; and how capitalism and socialism relate to the knowledge economy. The contemporary world is showing many contradictions with uncertain future scenarios that preoccupy mankind. The global capitalist system as we know it is in deep crisis—and some even predict its slow death, because of its inability to handle the environmental imperative. At the same time, classic socialism as experienced in the Soviet Union and its proxies is a stone dead alternative to capitalism today. So what options remain? The book considers this question as it examines a range of countries where socialism (in one form or another) has arisen, or where democratic socialism could be possible, including Brazil, Chile, Cuba, Sweden and the United States.
