Today’s advanced capitalist societies depict themselves as grounded in human freedom, and the focus is most frequently on the political sphere. When discourse turns to economic freedom, it is limited to market freedom—the freedom of market participants to agree to contractual arrangements. However, this limited understanding hides from view the domain where most people spend about one-third of their lives and are unfree—their workplaces where they must take orders from managers or bosses whom they did not participate in choosing. Nor does this discourse on freedom include freedom from the scourge of unemployment. The elite’s self-serving ideology of laissez-faire has successfully kept these freedoms out of public discourse to such an extent that they are rarely mentioned, even in labor economics textbooks. This chapter discusses why measures to advance democracy in the workplace are essential for the future of freedom, democracy, and the revitalization of community. It surveys existing instances of worker ownership and control of firms and how workplace democracy can be implemented more broadly. Also noted is the broad popular support for this extension of freedom and democracy.
