Abstract
After the fall of communist regimes in the former Soviet Union and the Eastern European countries, socialists were forced to rethink the future of socialism. It was once claimed that socialism was dead. Market socialists deny this claim and propose new models of socialism that are believed to succeed. In endorsing the market, market socialists develop a theory distinct from Marxism. Some Marxists believe that market socialism is a transitional stage between capitalism and communism. Some market socialists reject this thinking. They try to defend the market in the face of the criticisms from the radical left. As a market socialist, David Miller has been eager to develop a theory of social justice that can be used to defend the market. This paper critically examines his defense of market in light of traditional socialist thinking.
