Item
- Title
- Producer co-operatives in South Africa: their economic and political limits and potential
- Description
- A comprehensive labour studies research report exploring producer co-operatives as a democratic alternative to capitalist enterprises in the context of mass unemployment. The dissertation analyses the roots of unemployment, the psychological effects of joblessness, and the strategies of organisations like COSATU and the NUWCC. It features in-depth case studies of the Mondragon model (Spain), the Sarmcol Workers Co-op (SAWCO), and others to evaluate the economic viability and "degenerative" tendencies of co-ops within a capitalist economy.
