The financial and economic crisis of the contemporary world was a turning point and shook the very foundations of societies. The belief in the uncontrolled market has been sidelined, while the vision of a fair and solidarity-based economic order has won many supporters. This book promotes concepts of a modern economic policy based on values of social democracy. It is not providing definitive answers, but it rather represents an invitation to read and reflect further. Authored by the FES Academy for Social Democracy in Germany, this is rare reading material for Thai citizens who want to get familiar with social-democratic thought on economy.
