Currently the article state "The objective function of the labor managed firm creates an incentive to limit employment in order to boost the net income of the firm's existing members". Just like there are laws w/re to corporations, laws could be used to shape the incentive-function. The problem of the laws getting repealed is easily solved by including a thorough "no stone unturned" rationale of why the law was put in place. If this sort of rationale *had* to be included with every law, a lot of pointless laws to serve select few special interests, could not be made in the first place as the rationale would either expose logic flaws or self-interested thinking. Sometimes a thorough explanation of a rationale of something that is few lines could take few books, that problem is solved by putting the whole law system into Wikipedia-like system that is open access for no charge and contains extensive links to supporting rationales/concepts. No doubt top law firms already have something like that but since laws govern everyone they should have the laws and rationales explained so that a 5 year old can understand the rationale behind the rule and if 5 year old can poke a stick in some of the explanations then whoever made the law should find another job or rewrite the law to support whatever the 5 year old found. I'm saying this because some 5 year olds have adult level intelligence and don't need education to notice if there's injustice taking place. Of course this is also the only criticism against workers self-management. Few of the workers are probably much more intelligent but could get drowned out by the masses that aren't so the self-management really needs efficient systems like Wikipedia or whatever you have these days (haven't kept up) where everyones voice can get heard in equal measure - eg. by placing the proposal in a wiki and then instead of casting "yes votes" in a poll, everyone would cast "criticism" of each proposal. Then each criticism is grouped and criticized and this repeats until either the critiqued proposal wins or alternative is chosen. Most sites (eg. stack overflow) don't have this sort of system, instead they have "thumbs up" type of system which has severe flaws that aren't immediately obvious but do become obvious over long time - I know this because I use that site a lot and the best ideas/comments DO NOT appear to get most votes, you have to read through every answer to a question to find the best one - that means stack overflows rating system DOES NOT WORK. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 91.155.31.99 (talk) 15:26, 23 February 2017 (UTC)
Would adding a reference to open source / free software projects be appropriate? for example, the way the Debian project works sounds similar to "large-scale decisions are made by all employees during a council meeting and small decisions are made by those implementing them while coordinating with the rest and following more general agreements."

I think the abstract example is highly biased. It implies that the capitalist boss wouldn't act to fix the problem, while the worker-run company wouldn't punish the worker responsible. Both are assumptions that I find dubious. TurboCamel 19:20, 19 September 2005 (UTC)
I took this out because it's pure speculation, and the two options which are counterposed are not mutually exclusive: "Say if a worker makes a major mistake during the middle of a work day that results in major profit loss, the workers are quick to discuss the consequences and adapt accordingly to avoid such a mistake in the future. In traditional capitalism, a manager would discipline and punish the worker responsible for the mistake.". - Nat Krause(Talk!) 04:09, 5 April 2006 (UTC)
Although the entry on recovered factory present it as a Spanish or Hispanic phenomenon, such is international and has been used in many various situations (as can be seen on this page here, albeit small). I don't think the Argentine case justify an article all for itself, and if those, it should be renamed "Recovered factories in Argentina", or, even better, "Workers' self-management in Argentina". In any case, these two, short, articles deal with the same subject. Or did I miss sgth? Tazmaniacs 05:45, 10 February 2007 (UTC)
