Private government
Book • 2019
In 'Private Government', Elizabeth Anderson critiques the contemporary workplace as a coercive and hierarchical institution, often likened to authoritarian regimes.
She argues that despite the rhetoric of market freedom, workers are frequently subjected to oppressive conditions with little autonomy.
Anderson proposes reforms to make workplaces more accountable and democratic, including exit rights, rule of law constraints, constitutional rights, and worker voice in decision-making.
