Book Review: Self-Management - New Dimensions in Democracy

Authors

J. S. Baker

Abstract

Is self-management, as an all-embracing sociopolitical system within the relations of socialism, the pathway to new levels, new qualities and dimensions of democracy; to more human life-styles and to the resolution of the main contradictions leading to the alienation of man, or, at least, a reverse process of disalienation and satisfaction within the workprocesses of modern society? Does the quartercentury of experience with self-management socialism in Yugoslavia provide us with most of our answers to these questions?
