Self-directed workers as a “cure for capitalism”

Click here to access article by Pete Dolack from his blog Systemic Disorder

This is a review of a new book Democracy at Work: A Cure for Capitalism by Richard Wolff. The book promotes cooperative enterprises as a "cure for capitalism", and the author...

He introduces the term “workers’ self-directed enterprises” to encompass such enterprises.
