Abstract

The author’s point is that the greatest advantage of a democratic firm system is a major impulse to political democracy. The idea that economic democracy furthers political democracy will sound fairly obvious not only to students of historical materialism, but also to anyone believing that economic activity plays a major part in shaping the social context in which we live. This idea is variously linked to Gramsci’s concept of ‘‘passive revolution’’, on which the author has been dwelling in detail.
