Workers' Self-Management in Argentina is a welcome addition to the - surprisingly sparse - empirical discourse on self-management and economic democracy. This is the most detailed analysis of the recent experiences in Argentina that this reviewer has encountered (there is a larger literature in Spanish). - Jerome Warren, in: Marx and Philosophy Review of Books [Full review] Author InformationMarcelo Vieta, Ph.D. (2012), York University, is Assistant Professor of Workplace and Organisational Learning and the Social Economy at the University of Toronto.
