Some Basic Issues in Economic Democracy

Author

Listed:
  • Hans Aage

Abstract

Based on a comparison of some recent and earlier proposals for economic democracy some basic, mainly economic, issues are identified: rights of property, management and income; decisions on technology and investment; political institutions; the functions of the state and the market. The Yugoslav solution and a recent Danish blueprint for economic democracy show striking similarities. Many proposals share the problem that despite increasing consensus and motivation inside the firm, self-management does not automatically provide social responsibility of management or a solution to problems arising from the separation of economic authority and economic responsibility which are immanent in administered economies.
