Redefining Work in a Post-Capitalist Society

This chapter explores the transformation of work and economy in a post-capitalist context, emphasizing the potential for productive and meaningful social activity in the absence of wage labor. It examines alternative economic models, such as cooperative communities and worker-occupied factories, highlighting successful examples like the Zanon Ceramics factory and the Mondragón network. The narrative critiques existing cooperative structures and discusses the theoretical frameworks needed for a participatory economy, illustrating the capacity for autonomous, egalitarian organization in a reimagined economic landscape.
