We are pleased to be the editor of the book “The Yugoslav workers' self-government – Light and shadow”, Paul Michel, to have won for an event on the topic.
On the subject of the book:
The Yugoslav workers' self-government and the associated self-government in the municipalities are almost forgotten these days. The project was in the 1950s and 1960s, that the Yugoslav communists had "invented", after you 1948 had been excommunicated by Stalin, in the whole world.
Jean-Arnault Dérens's contributions, Catherine Samary and Paul Michel recall the efforts of the 1950s and 1960s, to create socialism in Yugoslavia, in which people at the base, in the factories and communities, take the booklet into your own hands. In addition to these emancipatory approaches, the forces of the market acted as destructive forces in the new system of workers' self-administration: The dynamism inherent in them has not been contained, but promoted and was able to develop more and more freely.
The book traces light and shadow in real social experiments of the 1950s, the contradictory, were chaotic and innovative and in the 1960s forced the Yugoslav leadership to take a fundamental course.
The experience with self-administration in Yugoslavia can provide food for thought for the still outstanding "remeasurement of utopia". But they also give an impression of it, what abysses can open up on this path.
