{"product_id":"9781839768637","title":"The Blueprint","description":"\u003cb\u003eFrom leading contributors to Jacobin magazine, a sweeping vision for a better world and concrete steps to get there, from expansive social welfare guarantees to worker-managed firms to a new culture of innovation.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eSocialism, the pundits insist, is at best a noble delusion. Good in theory — maybe — but proven disastrous by over a century of experimentation. The Blueprint will present a vision for socialist politics in the twenty-first century, offering not only a critique of contemporary capitalism but a description of a viable economic model that features both expansive social welfare guarantees, worker-managed firms, and the innovation that comes from market competition. Based on the real experiences of social democracy and the cooperative movement, we can envision a better world, and outline concrete steps to get there.","brand":"Bhaskar Sunkara, Ben Burgis, Mike Beggs","offers":[{"title":"Verso Books |  Hardback  |  2026-06-16","offer_id":47340721537279,"sku":"9781839768637","price":39.95,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0329\/9075\/7001\/files\/BNCImageAPI_60ae9f50-098c-4b71-a423-290a3be39fdd.jpg?v=1760025039","url":"https:\/\/riverbookshop.com\/products\/9781839768637","provider":"River Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
