Fifty years after powerful labour movements launched radical plans to democratise the economy and gain control of large businesses, what is the legacy of these efforts and what are the prospects for economic democracy today?
Join us to discuss the anniversary of the « Meidner plan », a famous moment in the history of socialism when Swedish unions tried to take ownership of all large companies there. What can we learn from the ambitions and failures of projects like this? What should plans for economic democracy look like today? And what is the best way to pursue projects for economic democracy in practice? Isabelle Ferreras will discuss the Report commissioned by the Spanish Government: Two promises to Those Who Work: Voice and Ownership.
