Property and Contract in #Economics: The Case for Economic Democracy by David Ellerman

This book makes 2 arguments.

1. The employment contract is the core of the #capitalism rather than private property
2. The employment contract is invalid because it violates #WorkersRights to #democracy in the firm. All firms should be structured as worker #coops for economic justice
