ABSTRACT
In the previous chapter Maurice Glasman asks three related but unfashionable questions and makes extensive reference to an unfashionable author. And indeed the very unfashionableness of his questions and of the author referred to are an inherent part of the argument. For, at the most general level, he is concerned to question the currently prevailing consensus about what forms of socio-economic organization are feasible and viable in the industrial societies of Eastern Europe currently undergoing what is called ‘transition’.
