Abstract

Capitalism is not only an economic order, but a form of life. Market socialism is proposed as an alternative, and should be assessed according to the standards of second-order coherence and social rationality that make a form of life habitable. I argue that it fails to meet those standards. Competitive market practices encode values that determine specific reasons for action and belief, reasons antithetical to those given by the principle of community. That principle, however, validates the politics under which common capital ownership is secured. The selfsame agents, in their fulfillment of essential and non-negotiable functional roles, are required to be equally responsive to incompatible reasons. This undermines the case for market socialism’s general stability.

市场社会主义作为一种生活形式

资本主义不仅是一种经济秩序，也是一种生活形式。市场社会主义是作为一种替代方案提出的，应该根据二阶一致性和社会理性的标准进行评估，使一种生活形式适合居住。我认为它没有达到这些标准。竞争性市场实践编码的价值观决定了行动和信念的具体原因，这些原因与社区原则所给出的原因相反。然而，这一原则验证了保障共同资本所有权的政治原则。同样的代理人在履行基本和不可谈判的职能时，必须对不相容的原因做出同样的反应。这破坏了市场社会主义总体稳定的理由。

期刊介绍： For over sixty-five years, the Review of Social Economy has published high-quality peer-reviewed work on the many relationships between social values and economics. The field of social economics discusses how the economy and social justice relate, and what this implies for economic theory and policy. Papers published range from conceptual work on aligning economic institutions and policies with given ethical principles, to theoretical representations of individual behaviour that allow for both self-interested and "pro-social" motives, and to original empirical work on persistent social issues such as poverty, inequality, and discrimination.
