Review :
"This is an agnostic book and it is all the more credible for that. It clears a great deal of intellectual rubbish out of the way and establishes that the real questions for socialists now are precisely the ones occluded by the new Clause 4." New Statesman and Society "A valuable source for the more advanced undergraduate student of contemporary politics and for those exercised by debates over socialism's future." Aslib Book Guide "This is an excellent book. It is rare that one has the opportunity to review a work that is comprehensive in its scope of analysis and also written in an extremely readable style. Christopher Pierson reviews debates about market socialism, in terms of its various features and practical feasibility, in a manner that academics and non-academics, specialists and non-specialists will find easy to understand. This is essential reading for all those with an interest in the potential of socialism in modern society." British Journal of Sociology
