"In Transforming Capitalism Through Cooperative Practices, Catherine Mulder employs what she calls New Marxian Class Analysis (NMCA) to six case studies that represent different aspects of worker cooperatives or Worker Self-Directed Enterprises (WSDEs). NMCA gets to the root of worker exploitation by focusing centrally on the surplus; who produces it, how it is distributed, and who controls its distribution. NMCA offers a corrective to standard Marxist analysis that focuses only on ownership and profit. Mulder’s case studies reveal in-depth knowledge on the intricacies of each cooperative. She adds fascinating anecdotes [...] Her writing is remarkably clear and she makes complex histories and theory accessible, without sacrificing the sophistication of her analysis [...] Mulder’s book offers us one of the few in-depth studies of worker cooperatives existing around the world. She does not just analyze the case studies, she offers a list of changes that would aid the creation of more cooperatives and help sustain the ones already in operation. Her book offers a new approach to analyzing worker exploitation and raises a number of fascinating questions. [...] this is a remarkable work that makes contributions to our understanding of Marxist theory, its application to capitalism, and alternatives to capitalism. This book would work wonderfully across many disciplines in undergraduate and graduate classes to teach students about the complexities of Marxist thought."
