Title: Market, socialism and democracy in an interdisciplinary perspective
Abstract: In this period of economic and social distress, a comprehensive assessment of the foundations of our economic and social systems has been unfolding in virtually all the most developed countries. We will employ a pluralistic and interdisciplinary approach for analysing some controversial elements of the following issues: 1) the definition and analysis of the market in an institutional and evolutionary perspective; 2) authoritarian and democratic socialism, namely, how to bring together freedom and social justice; 3) the possibility of reformulating the Marxist labour theory of value without reference to the concepts of classic economics; 4) the theory of historical materialism and the importance of bringing to the fore also the cultural and psychological factors; 5) the links of these issues with the debate between holism and methodological individualism; 6) the role of psychoanalytic perspective in elucidating many aspects of these concepts and, on this basis, to identify suitable policies for our most urgent economic and social problems.
