The way forward from Guild Socialism: a comment on Hodgson
评论霍奇森对行会社会主义的批评，指出其提出的分散化生产者合作社嵌入竞争市场经济的方案在政治上不可行，并概述了一个劳动管理企业体系的政治经济模型，显示投资自由放任政策可能被资本税/补贴方案否决。
Abstract This note starts from Hodgson’s (2023) thorough review and critique of Guild Socialism and argues that his proposed way forward—a decentralised producer cooperative sector embedded in a competitive market economy—is likely to be a political impossibility. A political economy model of a system of labour-managed firms is outlined which shows that laissez-faire on investment decisions is likely to be outvoted by a capital tax/subsidy scheme that redistributes income from rich coops to poor coops.
