Abstract

Liberal egalitarians have recently argued for some form of corporate democracy. This would ensure a fairer distribution of primary goods and strengthen the active and democratic disposition of citizens. However, such arguments rely on unverified theoretical assumptions. We therefore examine these assumptions from the perspective of management science, adopting a reflexive posture that is sensitive to the difficulties that arise from interdisciplinary discussions. We note a gap between the type of knowledge available in management science and that required to address Rawlsian assumptions. We thus propose paths for closing this gap, some of which are relevant for liberal egalitarianism and some for management science. We thus set out the conditions for an empirically informed liberal egalitarian response to the political question of whether firms should be made more democratic.
