David McMullen's Rebuttal to the Knowledge Problem


Listen Later

In a follow up to the first episode with Professor Rosolino Candela, Dominick Mellusi and Alex Pilkington interview socialist economist, David McMullen. We talk about his economic planning model, his critique of the Knowledge Problem, as well as a few aspects about socialism. 

David McMullen is an Australian socialist economist who contends that global economic development in the 21st century will provide the necessary material basis for a classless post-capitalist society. He expects affluence rather than poverty to become the rule by the end of this period given that it would not require unusually high growth rates, and resource and environmental constraints will be overcome by advances in technology. With a high level of economic development, equality would no longer entail sharing poverty and lengthy toil, the main reason for classes and inequality in the past. These views are expounded in his book Bright Future: Abundance and Progress in the 21st Century.

His website is entitled simplymarxism.com.
