Recensione

'It's been a long time since the appearance of so important a book on worker participation and the governance of enterprises. Dow lays out the states of our knowledge and of our ignorance clearly and readably, inviting us to join him in thinking about what might be the next steps forward. No better introduction to the subject matter is available.' Louis Putterman, Brown University

'In market economies, most firms are owned and managed by those who supply financial capital, not by the people who work in them. Why? This is a topic that sometimes generates more heat than light. However, in this dispassionate analysis, Greg Dow perceptively examines the rich and diverse literature on this topic and comes up with important insights. This book will immediately become the standard reference on worker ownership and management and is thoroughly recommended for both specialist and non-specialist alike.' John Pencavel, Stanford University

'What difference does it make when workers rather than capital owners control firms, electing managers, and owning (for better or worse) the fruits of their labor? Greg Dow's Governing the Firm provides the economic analysis and empirical facts based on the experience production cooperatives around the world to answer this question. It's the best book on the subject.' Samuel Bowles, University of Massachusetts, Amherst

Descrizione del libro

Economists have had little success in explaining the rarity of worker-controlled firms. This book provides case studies of such firms and surveys the available evidence on their design and behavior. It outlines a policy proposal to encourage employee buyouts of conventional firms.
