Retrieving Democracy

<p>Originally published in 1985 <i>Retrieving Democracy</i> offers a thorough and systematic answer to the familiar objection that genuine democracy is utopian. The book outlines an imaginary yet imaginable society that would be non-racist non-sexist and sufficiently classless to support true civic equality. Moving beyond previous discussions of re-industrialization and economic democracy the book proposes the social control of corporations; a democratic division of labour that would maximize equality of citizenship rather than merely the production of commodities; the democratization of trade unions; the equalization of wages and job opportunities and the insulation of electoral politics from the power of money. </p>
