Its objective is to place before the public some seminal discussions of a central theme which is both theoretical and practical, namely the role of the state in achieving social justice in modern market systems from a socialist perspective. These essays touch many subjects, such as state ownership, collectivism, communitarianism, individualism, equality, citizenship, and national identity. The authors of these essays, all members of the Socialist Philosophy Group of the Fabian Society, follow no single line and approach these problems in diverse ways. |
