Description

Identifying capitalism as a system of privately owned corporations, this book envisions an alternative, more equitable form of economic organization within a democracy. Challenging the current system, which centralizes power within a small elite, this model points to democratic reforms in the workplace that could bring together organized labor, community mobilization, and political action to improve living conditions for all.
