Socialism Beyond Equality

In February 1965, the Center for the Study of Democratic Insitutions organized a conversation on utopias between Michael Harrington and Wilbur H. Ferry. Harrington had achieved considerable public recognition with his 1962 book The Other America, and Ferry was one of the leading American thinkers on automation. Both had signed, a year before, the memorandum for a "Triple Revolution," which argued that a "cybernation revolution" would so reduce working hours that workers would have to reimagine what to do with their time.
