Bruno Jossa

The Political Economy of Cooperatives and Socialism (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

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 which is genuinely socialist and fully consistent with the ultimate rationale underlying Marx's theoretical approach.
