We've had this great debate: how much
government intervention should there be,
when should it happen,
how should it happen, how long should it
last, how deep should it go? Those kinds
of questions versus those who want the
government to butt out, to be minimally
involved etc. So in economics this is
called the debate between neoclassical
economics and Keynesian economics.
Socialism has nothing to do with whether
the government is more or less involved.
Socialism is really a radically
different system, a system that isn't
master/slave or lord/serf or
employer/employee it is a system in
which the workers finally stop being
slaves, stop being serfs, being employees
and become their own employer.
