New Economic Democracy establishes a self-governing civil society,
unifying the private sphere of production and the public sphere of
citizenship within a non-statist scheme of communal ownership. It
provides the premises to seeking a solution to Marx's fetishism of
commodities. Only a thorough restructuring of the economic and
political institutions can provide the social climate in which the
phenomenon of fetishism can be transcended. Defetishizing the
commodity implies reversing the concealment of the social relations
through which commodities are produced and preventing the tendency
to bestow magical characteristics to commodities. The key
imperative to the defetishized society is a system of genuinely
democratic institutions. iprovides this necessary corrective and
also challenges the prediction that politico-economic
organizations, like worker cooperatives, are destined to be
dominated by the dictates of oligarchs. The explanatory approach of
Marx's concepts combined with an original argument will make the
book a valuable research tools to students and researchers in
political theory, democratic theory, and political economy.
