The Social Commonwealth: A Plan For Achieving Industrial Democracy (1914)

By Bernard a Rosenblatt

Book Overview

The Social Commonwealth: A Plan For Achieving Industrial Democracy is a book written by Bernard Abraham Rosenblatt in 1914. The book presents a detailed plan for achieving industrial democracy, which is a system where workers have a say in the management and decision-making processes of their workplaces. Rosenblatt argues that the current capitalist system is inherently unequal and exploitative, and that workers should have more control over their own lives and work. He proposes a system of worker-owned cooperatives, where employees collectively own and manage their workplaces. The author also advocates for the establishment of a social commonwealth, where resources and wealth are shared more equally among all members of society. He argues that this would create a more just and equitable society, where everyone has access to the resources they need to live a fulfilling life. Throughout the book, Rosenblatt provides detailed examples and case studies of existing cooperatives and other democratic workplaces. He also addresses potential criticisms and challenges to his proposals, and offers solutions to these issues. Overall, The Social Commonwealth is a groundbreaking work of political and economic theory, and remains relevant today as a call for greater democracy and equality in the workplace and society at large.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
