Publisher's Synopsis
Pillars of Industrial Democracy explores the politico-philosophic traditions of British Guild Socialism, German Social Democracy, European anarcho-syndicalism and the Gandhian concept of Trusteeship, which have endeavoured in thought and action to make the concept of industrial democracy. It questions the assumptions in the industrial democracy that believe that the needs and aspirations of human beings are the reason for organized efforts in society.
The book reviews the history of organizational renewal worldwide and talks about the supportive and collegial models and the results it achieves.
Pillars of Industrial Democracy broadens its horizon and talks about both inner and outer democracy, employee engagement and participation and raises the pertinent issue-it is not about every employee voting, but everyone having a vote.
