I was under the impression that you can still have a market economy under socialism. That is, you can have workers own the means of production while still buying and selling goods through fairly normal means.
But maybe I'm misunderstanding?
Goods include capital equipment. If you can’t buy and sell machinery then you don’t have a market economy.
I don't understand. Why couldn't the teams that make the machines, the crews that make the steel, all the way down, all be worker owned companies in a market economy?
This post made me say EU
To be fair, it seems like a significant minority part of the EU dislikes that part too. Mostly in the countries that have mild winters.
I'm pro social markets, so no problems here
I would simply get a new constitution.
It does?
Yeah, I think it does. I think it's partly why new private unis are now legal in greece (yet theyre unconstituional, no matter how they twist the constitution) and why the national electrcity provider for example has been torn to various pieces at various degrees of privatisation
I'd like someone to post better info about it, I found these (been going on for decades?):
