Books by John E Roemer

In this text, the author proposes a new future for socialism based on a redefinition of market socialism. He argues for a modified version of socialism, not necessarily based on public ownership, but founded on equality of opportunity and political influence.

This work is based on John Roemer's model of "coupon socialism". Roemer's model aims to combine the market with a commitment to equality through a radical proposal: all citizens would receive an equal number of coupons with which to buy ownership rights (voting, dividends) in companies.
