Conversation with Gilbert Wasserman chief editor of M

We start a series introducing left wing and Marxist theoretical periodicals with this French journal which is close to our one. In connection with that, we carry a conversation with the journal's editor-in-chief, Gilbert Wassermann about the goals of the paper, the basic principles of editing it, the idea of future, the relationship and attitude to capitalism and the expected fate of (Eastern) Europe, etc.

Who should be the owner?

Round table discussion about privatisation, the possibilities of workers' ownership. The participants of the discussion are the manager who wants to have an increasing scope of activities, the banking expert who defends monetary interference and an apostle of whe workers' ownership. The discussion is at the same time the presentation of three different concepts of socialism: one, which wants to refine capitalisation with welfare mechanisms preventing impoverishment, two, which accepts the turn towards capitalism as something bad, which however, is a necessary precondition of true socialism and three, which wants to present elements of post-capitalist economy and social organisation with workers'ownership.
