"The Economic Basis of the New Society"

by Dewey, John (1988)

Key Passage

“the need of securing greater industrial autonomy, that is to say, greater ability on the part of the workers in any particular trade or occupation to control that industry, instead of working under these conditions of external control where they have no interest, no insight into what they are doing, and no social outlook upon the consequences and meaning of what they are doing” (p.314)
