Workers’ Self-Management in Argentina : Contesting Neo-Liberalism by Occupying Companies, Creating Cooperatives, and Recuperating Autogestion Paperback / softback
by Marcelo Vieta
Part of the Historical Materialism series
Paperback / softback
Description
In Workers ' Self-Management in Argentina, Marcelo Vieta homes in on the emergence and consolidation of Argentina 's empresas recuperadas por sus trabajadores (ERTs, worker-recuperated enterprises), a workers ' occupy movement that surged at the turn-of-the-millennium in the thick of the country 's neo-liberal crisis.
Since then, around 400 companies have been taken over and converted to cooperatives by almost 16,000 workers.
Grounded in class-struggle Marxism and a critical sociology of work, the book situates the ERT movement in Argentina 's long tradition of working-class activism and the broader history of workers ' responses to capitalist crisis.
Beginning with the voices of the movement 's protagonists, Vieta ultimately develops a compelling social theory of autogestión -- a politically prefigurative and ethically infused notion of workers ' self-management that unleashes radical social change for work organisations, surrounding communities, and beyond.
