Advocacy of market socialism by Thomas Weisskopf
Alex Callinicos on the pitfalls of market socialism
A critique of market socialism and advocacy of participatory planning instead by David Kotz
Any socialist society worth the name will involve democratic control and planning of the use of resources – this is incompatible with the market. That is not to say the entire market will be removed overnight, but it will be gone within a given timescale after the overthrow of capital.
