Alienation, communication and consumption: challenges of 21st century socialism

Abstract

Marxist concept of alienation is pretty linked with the economic production relations. In this paper, the author explores the communicative and ecologic implications of this phenomenon. To be a veritable alternative to capitalist alienation, socialism must consider these factors and overcome the economic reductionism.
