SUMMARY:Speaker Series with Dr. Barry Maguire
DESCRIPTION:\nSocialism and the Collective Ownership of the Means of Produc
 tion (joint work with Jan Kandiyali)\n\n\n\n\nhttps://www.youtube.com/watc
 h?v=CXRN4NJyB_Y\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nAbout the session: Historically\, sociali
 sm has been identified with collective ownership of the means of producti
 on. However\, in the face of the purported failure of central planning\, a
 nd influential arguments about the necessity of markets and private owners
 hip\, many contemporary socialists have sought to sever the link between s
 ocialism and collective ownership. Here\, we aim to rehabilitate a constit
 utive relationship between them. The argument proceeds in three main steps
 . First\, the heart of socialism is an ideal of caring solidarity. The ide
 a of caring solidarity enjoins us to engage in the shared activity of car
 ing about one another\, or in other words\, to do what we can to meet othe
 rs’ needs collaboratively. Second\, caring solidarity constitutively inv
 olves collective planning of the means of production\, and that planning 
 is possible only if there is collective control of those means. Third\, c
 ollective control is incompatible with private ownership of the means of
  production\, but instead would constitutively involve collective ownershi
 p. Hence socialism\, as caring solidarity\, would constitutively involve t
 he collective ownership of the means of production.\n\n\n\nAbout the spea
 ker: ​Barry Maguire is a Professor of Moral and Political Philosophy at&
 nbsp\;The University of Edinburgh. He previously held academic positions a
 t Stanford University\, The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill\, 
 and New York University. He received his PhD in Philosophy at Princeton Un
 iversity\, supervised by Gideon Rosen\, and a BA in Politics\, Philosophy\
 , and Economics from Balliol College\, Oxford. His main research project i
 s the development of an ethical theory based on an ideal of caring solidar
 ity. This approach aims to integrate standards of justification in the eth
 ics of economics\, political philosophy\, and moral philosophy. \n\n\n\nIf
