Synopsis

′...the editors have done an excellent job of shaping the collection. Most of the essays are easy to comprehend, have minimal polemical content on a topic that lends itself to rhetoric, and are dominated by ideas. This book is a good introduction and statement of current thought on the promotion of self-management as the basis for the organization of production.′ -- Industrial and Labor Relations Review, January 1982

′With this collection we have a very full diet of reading and anyone concerned with what is variously called industrial democracy, workers′ control or self-managed enterprises, will be bound to find in it something of interest.′ -- Industrial Relations Journal, Nov/Dec 1980

′This collection provides a solid introduction to the controversies surrounding industrial democracy and does so with its ideological assumptions stated at the outset.′ -- Contemporary Sociology, Vol 11 No 2
