Casting a critical eye toward non-revolutionary forms of workers' control, Azzellini and the contributors to this volume enrich our understanding while pressing us ever more toward the radical and transformative experiences in workplace management that have become a resurgent hallmark of our moment.' George Ciccariello-Maher, Drexel University 'Challenging radical fuzziness and conservative dogma, this book is a resource for comprehending the past and conceptualizing the future.' Professor Paul Le Blanc, La Roche College, and author of Work and Struggle and A Freedom Budget for All Americans 'An Alternative Labour History is a hugely important contribution to that old socialist question: how can ordinary people exercise self-government in the matters that matter most to their daily lives? The essays here update the vision of workers' councils in response to the ecological crisis and to the prospects raised by popular uprisings. Get this book!' Paul Buhle, Brown University, and Founder of Radical America 'An Alternative Labour History is a must-read for those seeking fresh ways out of the current global morass. Azzellini and his contributors present a real and possible alternative to the twin corporate traps of monopoly capitalism and state socialism. There are lessons here for all who hold tight to the possibility for a future based on equality and social good.'
