Mistakes in the explanation of the cause of a disturbing effect usually continue in a wrong solution proposal. Those who explain poverty as the result of market failure look for alternatives to market regulation. Those who explain poverty as a necessary consequence of market-based production relationships want to abolish the market. Any alternative to capitalist reality is therefore only as good as the underlying explanation of the capitalist mode of production. Accordingly, the present book is not about imagining a better world, regardless of the reasons for the worldwide impoverishment and destitution of large parts of the population, but about deriving from the explanation of capitalism the fundamental principles of an economy beyond capitalism. Critique and alternative are thus brought together. The question of feasibility is thereby answered simultaneously.
