Rating-Agenturen, »Gläubiger- staaten« und die EU als verallgemeinerte Finanzaufsicht verringern den Spielraum für demokratische Entscheidungen. Die Proteste gegen die Politik der Kürzungen in Spanien, Nordafrika, Griechenland, Israel besetzen die Plätze und Straßen und erobern damit das Öffentliche symbolisch zurück. In der argentinischen Krise wurde der Protest auf der Straße mit einer anderen Art des Arbeitens und Wirtschaftens verbunden: »Besetzen, Widerstand leisten, Pro- duzieren« (vgl. die Beiträge auf www.zeitschrift-luxemburg.de). Aus der Niederlage im Neoliberalismus ist eine Bewegung an der Basis entstanden, die Betriebe besetzt oder weiterführt, die geschlossen oder verlagert werden sollen: um Abfindungen zu verhandeln, Arbeitsplätze zu erhalten – oder als Einstieg in gesellschaftliche Trans- formation. In Deutschland forderte die IG Metall Gegenleistungen für Zugeständ- nisse und staatliche Krisenhilfen: Erweiterte Mitbestimmung, Belegschaftseigentum und Wirtschaftsdemokratie wurden gegen den Shareholder Value gestellt. Auch in den USA ist auf den Ruinen fordistischer Produktionsstätten eine vielfältige Bewe- gung von Kooperativen und Genossenschaften in Belegschaftseigentum entstanden. »Ohne Boss« zu arbeiten, war eine neue Erfahrung, für viele befreiend. Marx sah in der selbständigen Organisation der Produktion durch die Produzenten, in Ge- nossenschaften einen ersten Schritt zum Kommunismus. Doch gleichzeitig wer- den die Arbeitenden in Widersprüche verwickelt, sie müssen lernen, wie Kapita- 4 luxemburg | 3/2011 editorial LUX_1103_03.indb 4 01.09.11 16:45 listen zu denken und zu handeln: Marktlogik und Konkurrenz treten nicht zurück, weil ein Unternehmen von der Belegschaft geleitet wird (vgl. den Beitrag von Vish- was Satgar). Gewerkschaften stehen Belegschaftseigentum und selbstverwalteten Betrieben oft kritisch gegenüber: Selbstausbeutung und Druck auf die Löhne bei vergleichbaren Betrieben sind zu befürchten. Auch »Belegschaftseigentum« kann bedeuten, Schulden zu erben, die andere gemacht haben. In Brasilien haben sich Gewerkschaften an die Spitze der Bewegung für solidarische Ökonomie gesetzt. Die größte Metallgewerkschaft in den USA und Kanada, United Steel Workers, hat ein Abkommen mit Mondragón geschlossen, der Kooperative aus dem Baskenland, die inzwischen ein transnationales Netzwerk von Produktionsstätten, Universität und Bank ist. Gemeinsam werden Belegschaftsbetriebe gegründet. Die Geschichte der Aufhebung von privatem Eigentum ist keine Erfolgsge- schichte der Demokratisierung (im Heft: Jugoslawien, DDR, Sowjetunion, China). Zentralisierung und Planung wurden vielfach als Entfremdung erlebt, übergingen unzulässig die Bedürfnisse und Interessen der Beteiligten an tatsächlicher Selbst- bestimmung. In Deutschland sind Betriebsbesetzungen und Arbeiterselbstverwal- tungen nach dem Abebben der Projekte- und Kollektivbewegung der 1970er Jahre selten geworden. Viele Versprechen auf »Selbstverwirklichung« und kooperative Formen sind von neoliberalen Diskursen gekapert, das Potenzial einer gesellschaft- lichen Transformation abgeschnitten worden. Internationale Erfahrungen sollen Horizonte öffnen: Fragen der alltäglichen Produktion des Lebens rücken wieder ins Zentrum, machen sie zum Gegenstand demokratischer Fragen: Was wird produziert? Wie wollen wir arbeiten? Wie wer- den Interessen zwischen Arbeitsplatzerhalt und Klimaschutz vermittelt?

  • 1 David Schweickart's “Economic Democracy”
    David Schweickart’s “Economic Democracy” Loyola University Professor David Schweickart has developed a detailed alternative system model he calls “Economic Democracy.” According to Schweickart, our current economic system—capitalism—rests on three kinds of institutions: markets for goods and services; wage labor; and private control over investment. The problem, he argues, isn’t with markets per se, but with the ownership and management of enterprises and the allocation of the surplus as private investment driven by the overriding interest in profitability. Economic Democracy, therefore, would preserve a role for (regulated) markets in goods and services while extending democracy into the workplace and the linked spheres of finance and investment. In place of private ownership of the means of production with markets in capital, labor, goods and services under capitalism, or state ownership and central planning under various real-world variants of socialism and communism, Economic Democracy has a basic economic structure of socially-owned, worker-controlled firms in a competitive market. The model has neither capital markets nor labor markets in the usual sense. Although workers control their own jobs and workplaces, productive resources would become the collective property of society and there is social control over investment through the allocation of the economic surplus at various levels. Economic Democracy seeks to give workers and local communities greater participatory autonomy, allowing them to more fully influence decisions and shape rules that impact their economic lives. Real-world examples of some of the key institutions of Economic Democracy include the Mondragon network of worker cooperatives in Spain, the practice of worker self-management in the former Yugoslavia, and public and cooperative banks in Germany and in North Dakota.

Humanizing the Economy p. 449 Foreward When I commenced writing this book in November 2008, the financial crisis that was to wreak global havoc had just exploded and a young senator from Illinois had just been elected America’s first black president. It seemed a turning point. The spectacular failure of the free market ideas that had dominated public policy for a generation seemed at last to have run their course. It seemed a time of reckoning. Surely the catastrophic costs of these policies would call down the reforms needed to curtail the criminal excesses of a system that had brought the global economy to the brink of ruin. The yearning for change that had propelled the election of a charismatic and still youthful president seemed a propitious omen for the pursuit of a vigorous and pro- gressive agenda that would finally address the grave faults of an economic and polit- ical system that had lost all legitimacy.

  • For All the People
    Praise for For All the People John Curl has been around the block when it comes to knowing work- ers’ cooperatives. He has been a worker owner. He has argued theory and practice, inside the firms where his labor counts for something more than token control and within the determined, but still small uni- verse where labor rents capital, using it as it sees fit and profitable. So his book, For All the People: The Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements, and Communalism in America, reached expectant hands, and an open mind when it arrived in Asheville, NC. Am I disappointed? No, not in the least. Curl blends the three strands of his historical narrative with aplomb, he has, after all, been researching, writing, revising, and editing the text for a spell. Further, I am certain he has been responding to editors and publishers asking this or that. He may have tired, but he did not give up, much inspired, I am certain, by the determination of the women and men he brings to life. Each of his subtitles could have been a book, and has been written about by authors with as many points of ideological view as their titles. Curl sticks pretty close to the narrative line written by worker own- ers, no matter if they came to work every day with a socialist, laborist, anti-Marxist grudge or not. Often in the past, as with today’s worker owners, their firm fails, a dream to manage capital kaput. Yet today, as yesterday, the democratic ideals of hundreds of worker owners support vibrantly profitable businesses.

My name is Mingwei Huang, and I have been involved with housing co-ops since I moved into the Audre Lorde Co-op within Madison Community Cooperative over eight years ago. I have been involved with NASCO in multiple capacities since 2008: Institute faculty, People of Color Caucus Chair, appointed and elected board member, Director of Education and Training, and currently as the board president. In our recent history, NASCO has experienced organizational fluxes oscillating between periods of major organizational change and turnover in leadership and also periods of stable rebuilding. While these changes have been challenging, our organization is proving to be dynamic and resilient, and this past year NASCO has made major progress in becoming more sustainable, primarily in the areas of governance, personnel, and membership. NASCO implemented a change in the election cycle this fiscal year (May 2013-April 2014) in order to streamline turnover of board members. Rather than holding elections in the spring and having two major board turnovers a year, the elections happen around the same time of Institute.
