Abstract

One remedy against mounting economic inequality consists in democratizing economic institutions. Such democratization may range from giving workers control rights over their places of work, to control rights over firm-specific means of production, to ownership rights over the means of production as a whole. Issues covered in this panel range from foundational questions of economic democracy (Is there a tension between democracy and private property (paper 1)? Is there a liberal-egalitarian argument for economic democracy (paper 2)?) to questions about the preferred type of economic democracy (Does the idea require democratic control over aggregate investment (paper 3)? Do workers’ participation rights five rise to information rights (paper 4)?). We will bring together philosophers and political theorists working at the intersection of normative theory and political economy with the aim of rejuvenating the debate on economic democracy.
