1. Wild Socialism
A concise study of workers’ councils as grassroots organs of industrial self-management during early twentieth‑century European upheavals, examining how they emerged from mass strikes and wartime collapse, organized workplace democracy, clashed with parties, unions, and state authorities, and were ultimately contained or suppressed. Through comparative case studies, it evaluates their achievements and failures, the tension between spontaneity and organization, and the lessons these experiments offer for democratic control of production.
