This book is a systematic study of the political thought of the academic and political leader Andreas G. Papandreou, specifically focusing on his contributions to the academic fields of politics, economics, international relations, and the epistemology and methodology of social sciences.
The scholarly work of A. G. Papandreou includes a sharp analysis of the strengths and weaknesses of capitalism, helping us to deeply understand the conceptual content of socialism.
The political philosophy of A. G. Papandreou is consistent with the socialist tradition not only because it recognizes and demonstrates the competitive nature and class structure, composition, and organization of capitalist society, but also because it clearly aligns with the second pole of the capital-labor dichotomy.
For A. G. Papandreou, cross-class compromise should not aim at the "petit-bourgeoisification" of society, that is, the social merging of all classes into a loose and expanded "middle space," but should aim at the substantial democratic control of the market and social development.
