Alternatives to Capitalism: The Economics of Partnership: Proceedings of a conference held in honour of James Meade by the International Economic Association at Windsor, England by Avril Alba

]At a time of rapid change in Central and Eastern Europe, there is widespread interest in alternative forms of market economy.
