About the Webinar

Students for Liberty South Asia is organising a Webinar on Socialist Ends and Market Means?

Webinar Date and Time: Friday, 18th October 2019, 7:30 pm IST onwards.

Understood as state or collective ownership of the means of production, socialism seems entirely incompatible with a commitment to markets. But there’s an older, more inclusive understanding of socialism in accordance with which socialism and markets aren’t at odds at all and markets provide active means to achieving socialist goals.

In this webinar with Gary Chartier, facilitated by South Asia Students for Liberty, we’ll discuss that older understanding, especially exemplified in the work of the great 19th century radical Benjamin Tucker.
