What began in the 1980s as an enterprise to transform public schools quickly became a troubled business battling falling test scores and dismal stock prices.

Conclusion. . 330 $a"This book is an exceptionally rich study that will mark a major intervention in the live discussions on the social and political centrality of work. Cukier investigates the many ways in which democratic life depends on the democratic control of the economy, from workplaces to the economy as a whole." ?Jean-Philippe Deranty, Professor of Philosophy, Macquarie University, Australia. This book proposes a radical transformation of labour institutions, in order to lay the foundation for the democratization of society rather than capitalist accumulation. Using an empirical analysis of the contemporary world of work, Alexis Cukier examines the democratic meaning of today?s critique of work organization and questions the theoretical models (linked to class struggles and to industrial democracy) to conceive of a "democratic work." Considering particular historical experiments (such as cooperatives, self-management, worker?s councils) that try to realize democracy at work, this book also analyzes the political issue of "democratic work" in relation to issues such as labour law, feminist struggles and political ecology. Ultimately, this book proposes some institutional paths that could overtake the divide between the rights of the citizens and the rights of the workers, arguing finally: if we really want to radicalize democracy, we should begin with democratizing work. Alexis Cukier is Associate Professor of Moral and Political Philosophy and member of the research laboratory Métaphysique Allemande et Philosophie Pratique, University of Poitiers, France. . 410 0$aMarx, Engels, and Marxisms,$x2524-7131 606 $aPolitical science 606 $aMarxian school of sociology 606 $aPolitical science$xPhilosophy 606 $aMarxian economics 606 $aPolitical sociology 606 $aPolitical Theory 606 $aMarxist Sociology 606 $aPolitical Philosophy 606 $aMarxist Economics 606 $aPolitical Sociology 610 $aEconomics 610 $aBusiness & Economics 615 0$aPolitical science. 615 0$aMarxian school of sociology. 615 0$aPolitical science$xPhilosophy. 615 0$aMarxian economics. 615 0$aPolitical sociology. 615 14$aPolitical Theory. 615 24$aMarxist Sociology. 615 24$aPolitical Philosophy. 615 24$aMarxist Economics. 615 24$aPolitical Sociology. 676 $a306.36 676 $a306.36 700 $aCukier$b Alexis$01289963 701 $aKhalifa$b Jean-Charles$01330992 701 $aPrendiville$b Brendan$01364488 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910720059603321 996 $aDemocratic Work$93385679 997 $aUNINA
