Mondragon and American Capitalism

Posted by: Vaughan Sanderson on May 17, 1997 at 10:32:15:

My understanding of Mondragon is weak, however here goes. Mondragon is a form of " workers capitalism " decisions are made collectively by consensus perhaps from the bottom, there is still hierachy and certain wage and authority divisions but the employees own the firm ( I think ).
Mondragon has some problems which are developing, overall worker satisfaction is greater. Its kind of a cross from some anarcho-syndicalist ideas with capitalism ( maybe I'm out of line ). Its in spain isn't it . well Spainds anarchist experiments in the 1930's may be something to consider.
