Observing a considerable continuity of collectivist economic thought in Eastern Europe and China, the conference participants will ask whether remarkable new collectivist ideas have managed to strike roots in these societies during the past few decades. If they have, then do they already offer a new non-capitalist “grand design,” and a transition program for implementing it? To what extent do new-collectivist theorists combine part of their own legacy with the emulation of Western patterns and with conceptual innovation? Does the “new New Left” in the West offer useful ideas to include in such a combination? How resistant are the new-collectivist ideas to old-style state collectivism? Finally, we will examine whether any rapprochement between collectivist and liberal thinking is possible beyond jointly condemning authoritarianism.
