Between neo-Capitalism and post-Capitalism: a challenging turn for a societal reformFootnote1

1. In response to a request by colleagues and friends at the Polish Academy of Sciences and the University of Warsaw, this paper aims to synthesize views regarding the transformations of the present form of society and their implications on the traditional Socialist thinking that I have expressed in previous works over the last two decades, including The associative economy: insights beyond the welfare state and into post-capitalism (2000).
