ABSTRACT

The Mondragon experience, which has been analysed in previous chapters from an equity and efficiency perspective, will now be studied from that of its potential for further transition towards a new system of social relations of production. In general, self-managed enterprises have aimed at transforming the existing capital-controlled production system, but only meagre results have been achieved. This is why we have been able to make reference to only a few cases, e.g. some producer cooperatives in industrialised countries, some communes of production in Israel, a social property sector in Peru, and the Yugoslav system of self-management.
