This book argues that capitalism cannot be said to be truly
democratic and that a system of producer cooperatives, or
democratically managed enterprises, is needed to give rise to a new
mode of production that is genuinely socialist and fully consistent
with the ultimate rationale underlying Marx's theoretical approach.
The proposition that firms should be run by the workers on their
own was endorsed by John Dewey, the greatest social thinker of the
twentieth century, but is also shared by Marxists such as Anton
Pannekoek, Karl Korsch, Angelo Tasca, Antonio Gramsci and Richard
Wolff. This book explores the history of this argument, taking into
account concepts from economic and political thought including
historical materialism, cooperation, utopianism and economic
democracy. The book will be of significant interest to scholars and
students of political economy, Marxism, socialism, history of
economic thought and political theory.
