"Towards a New Socialism" (book)

"Towards a New Socialism" is a book by Paul Cockshott that explores alternative economic systems beyond capitalism. It argues for a form of socialism where resources and production are democratically planned and managed using modern technology, especially computers. The goal is to eliminate inequality, reduce exploitation, and ensure everyone’s needs are met efficiently. Cockshott advocates for a cooperative economy driven by social priorities rather than profit, emphasizing how technological advancements can facilitate a fairer, more sustainable society. The book combines economic analysis with ideas for implementing a different, more equitable system.
