CATALYST JOURNAL

The democratic firm is at the heart of many models of market socialism. But a promotion of democracy within the firm calls for very specific institutional adjustments outside it, because its internal structure can be at odds with other goals of market socialism, like a desirable rate of growth and economic equality between workers. This paper lays out a model that seeks to marry firm-level democracy with macroeconomic growth and solidaristic wage policy.

In a socialist society, should workers have democratic control over their own workplaces? For many socialists, the answer is obvious: of course, almost by definition. But among economists who have developed proposals for how a socialist system might work, the answer is much more controversial. Some of the most well-known models do not involve democratic workplaces.

Workplace democracy is not a feature of one major vision published in Catalyst, John Roemer’s “sharing economy,” though workers share in firm profits.1 In his seminal earlier proposal, A Future for Socialism, Roemer explicitly rejected labor management, at least as part of socialism’s “first step,” and possibly even as part of an ideal vision.2 This is in line with the famous neoclassical socialist model of Oskar Lange, which also features labor markets and conventional employment relations.3

Workplace democracy is not a module that can be plugged into a socialist model without affecting the rest of it. It is tangled up with questions of finance and labor mobility. It brings challenges around risk, income distribution, and efficiency. Activity at any workplace must be coordinated within the broader division of labor across the whole economy. Roemer’s agnostic position is understandable:

My preference for the managerial proposals is based on conservatism, namely, that it is best to change features one at a time, if possible. The biological metaphor is apt: an organism with one mutation is more likely to survive than one in which two mutations occur simultaneously. I think it is more important to change the private nature of the financing of firms than the management structure as the first step.4

For many of us, however, workplace democracy is not to be given up lightly. It is central to the other proposal for “Socialism for Realists” published in Catalyst, by Sam Gindin.5 Gindin presents an appealing model, and the present essay is broadly in line with his suggestions. But he does not respond there to the problems identified by skeptics of workplace democracy — sympathetic or otherwise.

Those problems are real. Their root is the fact that modern standards of living depend on a vast and complex division of labor, in which the individual workplace is a small node. These nodes must be coordinated to meet social needs efficiently, but if each workplace must play a part, what is the scope for local democratic decision-making? Any system must constrain the choices made within the workplace, and structure those choices with incentives to bring local interests in line with broader social needs. That is easier said than done. The critics have rightly pointed out serious flaws in some of the standard models, and this has convinced many that worker management is simply unviable.6

The aim of this essay is to face the problems squarely and suggest a set of institutions that can plausibly cope with them — a model that is hopefully appealing, meeting socialist aspirations for equality, democracy, sustainability, care, and personal freedom. The problems cannot be resolved simply at the level of the workplace — they are systemic problems and so require the whole system to be built around them. In particular, workplace democracy has fundamental implications for finance, the labor market, and the relationship between the public sector and the sector of commodity-producing, democratic firms. This essay therefore gives a lot of room to the broader systemic architecture before focusing on the democratic firm itself.

The proposed system includes a large market sector of commodity-producing firms, as in both Gindin’s and Roemer’s models, as well as other prominent socialist proposals of recent decades.7 As Gindin argued, planning and markets are not opposites: the grid of prices and incentives emerging from and organizing market activity is a vital source of information and tools for planners. But having accepted a substantial role for markets, socialists must resolve their tensions with egalitarianism and democracy. Roemer’s proposals concentrate on the egalitarian side and reserve democracy to the state, and so they have a more limited set of tensions to resolve.

The next section discusses the entangled relationship between the commodity-producing private sector and the noncommodified public sector. It also explains the ways in which a democratic government can engage in effective planning and policy in and through the market sector. In addition to the public agencies and policy tools familiar from capitalism, the state will have two powerful sites for intervention: a public banking system, and a labor board setting benchmark wages and conditions.

There are many possibilities to expand public agency in new ways, as well as facilitating new kinds of community provisioning. But my attention in the rest of the essay is on the special problems of reconciling efficiency and democracy in socialist commodity production. Efficiency is sometimes seen as a conservative goal, but it simply means avoiding the waste of resources, including people’s time and effort. It need not imply the pursuit of maximum output; efficiency is just as important in maximizing leisure and minimizing environmental impacts for a given output. Waste and misallocation played a big part in the problems of state socialism in the twentieth century, and the social sustainability of any future socialism depends on a reasonable degree of efficiency.

I explain the core problems raised by economists about collective firms: the so-called horizon and common property problems, and related problems of risk management, that can keep democratic firms from investing and employing members in a way that efficiently meets social needs. In response, I propose treating investment as a partnership between public banks and democratic firms, allowing for systemically rational investment decisions and an appropriate spreading of risks and returns.

There is something to be said for Roemer’s caution in presenting a minimum viable socialism. But there is also something to be said for proposals that push further down the road to utopia, while trying not to actually be utopian by ignoring predictable problems. By wrestling with an expanded set of problems, they build the plausibility of an attractive and viable socialist alternative. We can never, of course, know if we have correctly anticipated all the problems a real program would run into — there will always be “unknown unknowns.” But by giving at least possible answers to the “known unknowns,” we make an appealing socialist alternative seem more conceivable. The point of sketching models, as Gindin stresses, is not to write recipes for the cookshops of the future — nothing would force them to use our recipes if they no longer suit the tastes or solve the problems of the time. It is to convince people in the present that there are workable recipes that make socialism worth pursuing.8

THE STRUCTURE OF THE ECONOMY

The proposed economic system, like capitalism, is mixed. “Private” and “public” are perhaps the wrong words here, given they are even more entangled under socialism than they already are in capitalism, but they are convenient. The division is between a “private” commodity-producing sector where costs are covered by market sales, and a “public” noncommodified sector operating with publicly allocated funds. The noncommodified sector includes the government bureaucracy and public agencies under central control, but it may also include a variety of community agencies with considerable autonomy, though still financed by the public purse.

A firm in the commodity-producing sector is democratic in two ways. First, “management and administrative structure are chosen by the firm’s labor force using a democratic political process.”9 Second, each worker receives a share of the firm’s residual income.10 They are firms in that they are autonomous commodity-producing entities that must cover costs with revenues and meet their contractual payment obligations.

A variety of firm constitutions are possible, but the standard for a midsize to large firm would involve representative democracy, with elected directors appointing and monitoring administrators who do day-to-day management. This could be supplemented by committees and referenda as needed, but routine administration is best handled by specialist professional workers with expertise in accounting, logistics, and so on. Democracy does its job by making sure the administrators are ultimately answerable to their colleagues, and that working conditions and broad questions of strategy must have broad approval.

Financial viability constrains the democratic firm, as it does the capitalist firm. The need to cover costs and meet cash flow obligations, while competing with other firms, is what ties the firm into the broader division of labor across the economy. It ensures that it is using social resources reasonably efficiently to meet people’s needs and wants. Like capitalist firms, democratic firms receive revenue from selling their output and pay for the inputs used in producing that output. They require investment: some inputs must be paid for long before receipt of the revenue that covers those costs. This investment must be financed in some way. As with capitalist firms, their future revenues and costs are uncertain to some degree. Market demand and prices change over time. They must make investment and production decisions in the face of uncertainty and so face financial risks.

But in a fundamental way, democratic firms are very different from capitalist firms. Capitalist firms are ultimately controlled by their owners, who are also the claimants to the residual income, entitled to what is left from earnings after suppliers, workers, and creditors have been paid. Labor-managed firms, on the other hand, are ultimately controlled by their workers, who are also the residual claimants.

It might seem that this would be a simple change: ownership and all that goes with it is transferred from one group to another. But there are fundamental differences between these groups and their involvement in the firm that give rise to important side effects. The differences bring serious problems that any viable system of democratic enterprise must resolve. Before turning to these problems, I first explain why a socialist system would involve markets and commodity production at all, and I discuss the overall setup of the proposed model, including the role of the noncommodified public sector and the mechanisms democratic state planning and policy will have to work through the commodified sector.

WHY MARKETS?

The idea of a socialist “private sector” may seem oxymoronic, but it differs from capitalist private enterprise in three ways: (1) personal income and wealth are far more evenly distributed, (2) financial claims on firms are indirect, via a public banking system, and (3) firms are run democratically by their workers. Some of the traditional socialist objection to markets comes from their association with the wide inequalities of capitalism. If income is unevenly distributed, they give some people much more control over those ends than others. If incomes are reasonably equal, this objection no longer applies — “one dollar, one vote” becomes more democratic.11 Another worry is that market logics would lead socialist firms to simply reproduce the alienation of capitalism, with competition enforcing cost containment that would amount to self-exploitation. This is why workplace democracy is so important, to ensure that people are able to voice preferences about the pace and conditions of their work. Further, in the system proposed here, firms would have to meet robust benchmark wages and conditions determined centrally, channeling competition away from the “low road” of a race to the bottom with low wages, high work intensity, or both.

External discipline is not something imposed only by markets. In any division of labor, there must be limits to the self-management of each individual unit, because they are all interdependent. Workers produce for others — either directly making consumer goods and services or making inputs for other production processes. A centrally planned economy also faces the underlying issue of interdependence and would need some other way of reconciling the operations of the countless production units with one another and with people’s desires as consumers. Constraints would need to be placed around how any workplace could arrange itself — and rightly so, since the workers there are using part of the social stock of wealth in their work and will make claims on output elsewhere for their own consumption. The proposal here provides multiple places to manage the constraints openly and democratically — at firm and more central levels — instead of fudging them. The “soft budget constraints” identified by János Kornai as a critical weakness of planned economies involved an inability to deal consistently in reconciling the preferences of work unit managers with the broader division of labor.12

Market pricing and commodity production are not something socialists must reluctantly accept because of the flaws of planning. In their proper place, and in a context of egalitarian incomes and workplace democracy, they are in fact a good vehicle for democratic planning.

It is not easy to think of a better way for people to signal what should be produced than actual consumer markets. We have a monetary income, we are faced with a set of prices quoted to us by sellers, and we choose how to divide our spending among all the things available. If we are to choose what to consume at all, the trade-offs inherent in using scarce resources must be presented to us in some way, so there will be some form of relative price and budget. It is not only that it would be cumbersome for planners to get choices from us in some other way but that we do not know ourselves the answer to questions about how many coffees we would be prepared to give up for so much extra gasoline next year. This is because our demand for any one product is bound up with our demand for other ones. The amount of coffee people would choose to consume not only depends on its own price but on many other prices, too. It would depend not only on prices of substitutes like tea or Red Bull, and complements like cigarettes and cake, but also on seemingly unrelated commodities like gasoline and housing rent — since everything must be paid for from the same budget.

Brokeback Mountain is still one of the most devastating movies I've ever experienced. It was unlike any other queer film released at the time, going for a more realistic approach to what life is like to gay men in a conservative world instead of opting to take the stereotypical idea of what a queer person is and exaggerating it for comedic intentions. Though it seems like it's marketed to be a gay romance, it felt more like a tragedy in a sense, being more grounded to reality instead of having everything go well for the characters. The ending wasn't bittersweet it was just bitter. It leaves the audience feeling unerved and with a heavy sense of grief that lingers in a lugubrious atmosphere.

It's kind of sad to think that this movie has become widely known as the "gay cowboy" meme on the internet because it takes away the impact this film has made to queer audiences not just in the states but the entire wolrd. It paved the way for a greater scope of queer representation in mainstream media, and the cinematic landscape for queer films was truly changed. A true work of art, a true catalyst for progress.

The cause and effect chain is almost correct. The real chain starts at “FDR worries that as the result of rapidly rising wages there will be runaway inflation.”

Inflation is when companies, as a whole, raise prices. No, I’m not joking when I say that, that’s really all it is. Some inflation is organic as the result of real, provable changes in supply and demand, but most inflation is actually down to demanded increases in shareholder returns without a parallel increase in company value. Aka the constant growth mindset, because most growth is actually a carefully cultivated mathematical illusion (though it’s much, much worse since about the ‘70s than it was during the war, almost as bad as the period of ca. 1880-1929).

In this case, FDR worried about runaway inflation because of the significant rise in wages. So what does that tell us? Companies would not want to increase wages without also a parallel increase in prices, because the increase in prices neutralises the increase in wages. Pro-corporate POVs might claim this is to keep their costs in check, and they may or may not be right (or at least not lying), but more likely it’s down to making sure that a large swathe of the American public isn’t suddenly prospering on the backs of the executive suite, because that equals an income redistribution from the owning class to the labouring class. Can’t have that, even if it’s relatively small. This is where I could talk about the giant scam that is insurance, health insurance in particular, but that’s not in the scope of this post.

So really, those hospital bills are because FDR worried the owning class (rich people) would penalise working-class Americans for being able to “take advantage” of a shortage in (mostly) manufacturing labour because of the war. Even though working-class Americans weren’t taking advantage of it at all, that’s just the same so-called free market forces the owner class uses to bilk us most of the time not being in their favour.

In conclusion: the real catalyst for the $18k+ birth “cost” (read: price) is the same as it always is, capitalist exploitation. I’m not saying the war didn’t play a part, just that it created a window for circumstances to change in a way rich people didn’t like because they couldn’t benefit from it, and might level the playing field in ways they didn’t want to set a precedent for—especially for people of colour, never forget that the capitalism is able to support a much wider culture of racism than some other fairer economic systems. So the US’s entry into WWII was a factor, but I wouldn’t say it was the catalyst. The owner class could have just…not done that, especially because the majority of the price inflation leading to today’s $18k birth bill came about well after the war was over.

Always remember that the US being a plutocracy has been true, and even the point, since its founding, just not always to the same degree as it is now.

Key Ports and Free Zones in Nigeria and Africa

Nigeria occupies a strategic location on the west coast of Africa, with important international trade positions because of the significant port infrastructure it boasts as well as rapidly developing free zones. These facilities are not only instrumental in growing the country's economy but also in making the country a gateway for trade both within Africa and further afield. The Lagos Port, Port Harcourt, and Calabar are among the major ports of Nigeria, all of which have played a strategic role in facilitating the movement of goods across the continent and connecting Africa to global markets.

Lagos Port, comprising the Tin Can Island Port and the Apapa Port, is one of the busiest ports in West Africa. However, with high demand, Lekki Deep Seaport, which is close to Lagos Free Zone, is becoming increasingly prominent. Since it is a modern facility, the Lekki Deep Seaport provides more capacity and better facilities for larger vessels. This proximity to the Free Zones in Nigeria is a good opportunity for businesses to cut down on their logistical costs while maximizing efficiency both in imports and exports.

Beyond Nigeria, throughout the African continent, exist enormous free zones that are part and parcel of the region's economic development. These zones have been developed and designed to encourage foreign investment and international trade through various benefits such as tax holidays, customs duty exemptions, and relatively low bureaucratic hurdles. Some of the biggest and most successful free zones in Africa are the Kigali Free Zone in Rwanda, the Tanger Med Free Zone in Morocco, and the Mauritius Freeport. These free zones, like LFZ, create an ideal environment for industries such as manufacturing, logistics, and technology.

Free zones and ports throughout Africa also have the effects of increasing trade but are catalysts for economic activities that encourage employment, innovation, and regional integration. They help create a conducive environment among nations and sectors that allows businesses to expand their scope and tap into new markets. The expansion of both ports and free zones will lead to Africa's future status as a hub in international trade.

With modern infrastructure and business-friendly policies, Nigeria's ports and free zones, especially the Free Zones in Nigeria, are crucial in driving Africa's future economic growth.

  The Williams %R and WTI: How to Exploit Hidden Trends Like a Pro The Indicator That Could Predict WTI’s Next Big Move Imagine having a crystal ball that tells you when crude oil prices are about to reverse. Well, the Williams %R might just be the next best thing. If you're trading WTI (West Texas Intermediate) and haven't explored this secret weapon, you're leaving money on the table. Most traders obsess over RSI and MACD, but Williams %R remains an underappreciated gem. Created by Larry Williams, this momentum indicator is like a sniper scope for timing market reversals. It helps you pinpoint when WTI crude is overbought or oversold, allowing you to enter and exit with precision. So, why are traders sleeping on it? Let’s break down why Williams %R + WTI is a match made in trading heaven and how you can use it to crush the markets. Why Most Traders Misuse Williams %R (And How You Can Get It Right) Williams %R, also known as the Williams Percent Range, oscillates between 0 and -100 to measure momentum. Here’s where traders get it wrong: - They use it like RSI and expect the same results. - They blindly buy when it’s oversold and sell when it’s overbought. - They don’t combine it with WTI-specific market factors. But here’s the kicker: Williams %R is most powerful when paired with oil’s supply-demand dynamics. Understanding how WTI reacts to inventory reports, geopolitical shifts, and macroeconomic trends supercharges the accuracy of Williams %R signals. How to Use Williams %R to Predict WTI Price Swings Step 1: Identify Overbought and Oversold Levels Williams %R moves between 0 (overbought) and -100 (oversold), with key thresholds at -20 and -80. - If Williams %R is above -20, WTI is likely overbought and due for a pullback. - If it’s below -80, WTI is oversold and ready to rebound. 💡 Pro Tip: Don’t trade based on overbought/oversold levels alone. Look for confirmations like volume spikes, trendline support/resistance, or major news catalysts. Step 2: Use Divergences to Catch Reversals Early A bullish divergence happens when WTI makes a new low, but Williams %R fails to follow (stays above -80). This suggests momentum is turning up. A bearish divergence is the opposite: WTI makes a new high, but Williams %R stays below -20. Expect a downturn. 🚀 Power Move: Combine divergence signals with weekly crude oil inventory reports. If Williams %R shows bullish divergence AND crude inventories are lower than expected, WTI could skyrocket. Step 3: Look for Breakout Confirmation When WTI breaks a key resistance or support level, check if Williams %R moves out of overbought/oversold zones. This validates the move and helps you avoid fake breakouts. 📈 Example Setup: - WTI price breaks above $80/barrel after strong demand news. - Williams %R moves out of oversold (-80 to -20) confirming momentum shift. - Entry trigger: Buy on a slight pullback to previous resistance-turned-support. Hidden Market Insights: Why This Works for WTI Unlike forex or stocks, crude oil trading hinges on supply-demand shocks. Williams %R helps cut through the noise by identifying extreme sentiment shifts before price reacts. 🔍 Expert Insight: According to Larry Williams himself, “Markets bottom on bad news, not good news.” When Williams %R shows an oversold reading despite bearish fundamentals, it signals exhaustion—and a potential reversal. 📊 Data Example: A study of WTI prices from 2010-2022 found that Williams %R divergences predicted major price reversals 78% of the time when paired with fundamental catalysts like OPEC decisions. Advanced Strategy: Williams %R + Smart Trading Tool To maximize your WTI trades: - Use our Smart Trading Tool to automate entry triggers based on Williams %R signals. - Get real-time forex and commodity market alerts in our StarseedFX community. - Access a free trading journal to analyze what works (and what doesn’t). 🔗 Try the Smart Trading Tool 🔗 Join the StarseedFX Community Final Takeaways: Why You Need Williams %R for WTI ✔ It helps you time WTI reversals with sniper precision. ✔ It works best when combined with inventory data and trend analysis. ✔ Divergences reveal hidden opportunities most traders miss. ✔ Pairing it with a smart trading tool boosts accuracy.
