Socialism: the problem and prescription's of Marx

[gaelic cowboy]

You know considering our different backgrounds it is scary how much we agree with each other!



By bosses do you mean the top dogs (actual owners and their surrounding cabal), or more the lower-level bosses?

Certainly, I've heard a couple of different takes on the lower and mid-level bosses, the managerial class. Marx saw them as fairly insignificant, just an auxiliary to the bourgeoisie that existed for practical reasons. Others, like James Burnham, argue that managers have become a class unto themselves. I really must buy the Managerial Revolution to get more insight on that.

Oh I am on about the masters of the universe of course the bucks who really run an own things.


You know I read once in the shrumpeter coloum I think in the economist that suposedly we cannot properly explain why we actually have companies.

Most suscribe to the idea that it is a modern version of industrial/economic feudalism, I give my service and in return am protected from full market forces by my leige lord ( CEO/Manager )

Otherwise I might have to be self employed which is apparently what there fancy economic models tell them we should be doing.
