This article investigates whether management techniques are universal or not, and whether capitalist means can be employed for socialist ends. Capitalist tools refer to Taylorism at the micro-level, and market at the macro-level. It will be discussed how the Soviet Union's use. of Taylorism is legitimated with reference to V.I. Lenin, and how socialist use of markets is legitimated with reference to market socialists. According to this article, neither Taylorism nor market is universal and objective though they have been used for different purposes.

Continuity and change in European social democracy: reasserting its viability within the context of globalization Kamalak, İhsan; Okyayuz, Mehmet; Department of Biochemistry (2006) The arguments concerning the unviability of Social Democracy at the beginning of new century within the context of globalization, and the accusations for its shift towards the New Right/Neo-Liberalism in the case of the Third Way has been criticized in a historico-critical way in this thesis.
