In 2002, David Scheweickart, a professor of philosophy at Loyola University, published a small and very readable book called After Capitalism.   It was a thorough critique of capitalism as a system for organizing our productive labor and the wealth it produces, and also an unusually detailed proposal for what he called a successor system. This replacement for capitalism he called “economic democracy,” and it was a form of socialism. Now, almost ten years later, Schweickart is publishing a revised edition, due out next month. Here Clayton Morgareidge reads from the preface to the new edition.
