Industrial Democracy in America: The

'industrial democracy' is an old idea that has once again become both popular and controversial. Originally developed as part of a late nineteenth-century radical critique of American capitalism, the language of industrial democracy-of participation, empowerment, flexibility, and teamwork-is now more likely to be found in the pages of the Wall Street Journal and other business publications.
