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. The New Economic Democracy provides 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.
