Critical Review
Marx, Postmodernism, and Self-Managment: Reply to Abell
By David L. Prychitko
Abstract
Peter Abell's review of Marxism and Worker's Self-Management misses the mark. Contrary to Abell's assertions, by book neither champions a postmodern case for self-management, nor does it try to salvage a socialist case for self-management by focusing on Marx's humanism. Self-managed forms require markets. It may be interesting to ask if that saves Marx, or if that also requires postmodernity, but these were not the concerns or arguments of the book.
