Critical Acclaim
‘. . . Producer Cooperatives and Labor-Managed Systems is an informative collection of articles on the subject of labor management . . . Readers will benefit from this compilation insofar as it lays out the initial debate, the critical aspects of the labor-management controversy in the neoclassical economic literature, and some recent studies.’
