Smith, Tony. Beyond Liberal Egalitarianism : Marx and Normative Social Theory in the Twenty-first Century / By Tony Smith. Leiden, The Netherlands : Brill, [2017] 1 online resource (389 pages). text rdacontent computer rdamedia online resource rdacarrier Historical materialism book series Includes bibliographical references and index. Description based on print version record and CIP data provided by publisher; resource not viewed. Progressive theorists and activists insist that contemporary capitalism is deeply flawed from a normative point of view. However, most accept the liberal egalitarian thesis that the serious shortcomings of market societies (financial excess, inequality, and so on) could be overcome with proper political regulation. Building on Marx's legacy, Tony Smith argues in Beyond Liberal Egalitarianism that advocates of this thesis (Rawls, Habermas, Stiglitz, and others) lack an adequate concept of capital and the state. These theorists also fail to comprehend new developments in world history ensuring that the 'destructive' aspects of capitalism increasingly outweigh whatever 'creative' elements it might continue to possess. Smith concludes that a normative social theory adequate to the twenty-first century must explicitly and unequivocally embrace socialism.
