Workers' Democracy

"Workers' Democracy" as a book category encompasses works that explore the theory, history, and practice of democratic control of workplaces and the economy—how workers organize to manage production, make decisions, and exercise political and economic power. It includes political theory (syndicalism, council communism, democratic socialism, participatory economics), historical and comparative studies of labor movements and factory occupations, case studies of cooperatives and self-managed enterprises, practical organizing guides and legal analyses, memoirs and biographies of organizers, and fiction that imagines worker-run societies. These books range from academic scholarship to activist manuals and popular histories, addressing questions of governance, strategy, solidarity, and the social implications of workplace democracy (including intersections with race, gender, and globalization), and are aimed at activists, students, scholars, and general readers interested in alternatives to hierarchical capitalist workplaces.
