Neo Marxist Economics
In relation to manufacturing consent, discuss the works
of Baran & Sweezy, Braverman, Edwards, & Burawoy as to how in the
Modern Era the economic base has attempted to control the workplace.
1. For Baran & Sweezy, what is the origin &
nature of monopoly capitalism? How did we deal w/ monopolies in the
past? What are the implications for the future?
2. For Braverman why is work being deskilled &
what is the effect? What are the methods of controlling the workforce?
3. For Edwards, what does he add to the analysis
of the methods of controlling the workforce?
4. For Burawoy, why do workers work so hard &
how do they manage their production?
