Abstract
Why do Americans, long supportive of political democracy, have so little industrial democracy or worker self-management? They perceive work and political situations differently, says Robert Lane. He goes on to examine numerous other considerations. There is the fact, for instance, that despite their high regard for democratic values Americans are skeptical about democratic practices. Their faith in capitalism is also an obstacle, and over time the market culture persuades workers to accept the risks and seek the benefits of the market world.Keywords
