Abstract: | Burczak (Socialism after Hayek, Ann Arbor: University of Michigan Press, 2006) presents a proposed form of stakeholder socialism to overcome the critique by Hayek of Marxist socialist systems. This involves
financing the beginning of worker-owned and managed cooperatives through a wealth tax, with a generous social safety net,
within a market economy in a democratic political system with civil liberties. While such a system may overcome worker alienation,
avoid many of the informational and incentive-based inefficiencies identified by Hayek, and have some special efficiencies
of its own, it will likely suffer from the financing problems most cooperatives face within predominantly market capitalist
economies as they try to grow larger. The most likely location for an effort at such a system might be in a smaller country
that has had some experience with workers’ management, such as the former Yugoslav republic of Slovenia.
