Description

From the Wikipedia:

"Jaroslav Vanek (born 1930, Prague) is an economist and Professor Emeritus of Cornell University known for his research on labour-managed firms (a similar idea to that of a worker cooperative), and also to the theory of international trade.

Vanek wrote "The General Theory of Labour-Managed Market Economies," a seminal work on self-management. His work in the economics of participation included "The Participatory Economy: An Evolutionary Hypothesis and a Strategy for Development" which reviewed behaviour of labour-managed firms in more social spheres beyond their interests in net revenue per worker."
