Sin Patron - Stories from Argentina's Worker-Run Factories

Chicago, Haymarket Books. 2007, First Edition. (ISBN: 9781931859431). Soft Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. An unmarked copy which has creasing to front card cover and to the first few pages. 245 pages. Foreword by Naomi Klein and Avi Lewis. Translated by Katherine Kohlstedt in cooperation with Federico Moreno. This is the inside story of Argentina’s remarkable movement to create factories run democratically by workers themselves. In 2001, the economy of Argentina collapsed. Unemployment reached a quarter of the workforce. Out of these terrible conditions was born a new movement of workers who decided to take matters into their own hands. They took over control of their workplaces, restarted production, and democratically decided how they would organize their work. 'Occupy, resist, produce' became the watchwords of this vibrant movement. Sin Patrón tells the story of Argentina’s occupied and recovered workplaces. Or rather, it lets the workers themselves tell their stories. Appearing for the first time in English, this book explores ten case studies of recovered companies, featuring interviews with movement leaders that provide a history from the shopfloor - history that is still being made today. 50. Very Good/No Jacket.

1848 - the Making of a Revolution

London, Routledge and Kegan Paul. 1967, First Edition. Hard Cover, 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. A Fine unmarked copy with VG+ dustjacket which has a small repaired closed tear to rear and is not price clipped. xxxi + 254 pages. The year 1848 was, in France as in several other European countries, a 'year of revolution'. There, as elsewhere, the monarchy was overthrown and the republic proclaimed, and a new liberal constitution was enacted by the nation's representatives. But in France, perhaps more than elsewhere, the revolution was deeply marked by the impact of the streets and workers' clubs and took the form of a protracted social drama, in which the players appear in the guise not only of political leaders but of contending social classes struggling for control of the state. Duveau shows the part played by such important personalities as Lamartine and Ledru-Rollin, and explains the various ideologies - including those of Marx, Saint-Simon, Fourier and Proudhon - which influenced the thought of man in 1848.
