  • by Robert Lochhead, 1989 - 72 pages

No.07-08 Plan, Market and Democracy

  • The experience of the so-called socialist countries by Catherine Samary, 1988 - 64 pages
    €5,00

    The collapse of the USSR highlighted the dead-end of the sort of planning practised under Stalin, Khrushchev and Brezhnev. But is the only alternative to bureaucratically planned 'command economies' the 'free market'. Rejecting this false choice, Catherine Samary explains that the debate is meaningless unless it is linked to the goal of emancipation.

    In most Latin American countries, workers have not formed independent political parties and trade unions. During much of the twentieth century large sections of the worker and peasant masses remained attached to populist parties, which at one point governed half the countries of the continent.

No.05 Class Struggle and Technological Innovation in Japan since 1945

  • by Muto Ichiyo, 1987 - 48 pages
    €5,00

    In the 1980s, free enterprise ideologues often presented Japan as a model of social harmony and economic dynamism. The essays included in this Notebook describe the real situation of postwar Japanese workers and unravel the mechanisms of the apparent Japanese consensus, in many cases akin to authoritarian suppression of independent thinking.
