Management just announced they are shutting down the company you are working for. You sit down with a group of coworkers
to discuss the situation. Eventually, you agree to try taking over the company and running it as a WSDE. You agree to present
this proposal to all the workers in the company. In order to do so, you prepare a slideshow presentation that addresses the
following issues:
 What is a WSDE?
 What are the possibilities of taking over the workplace and running it as a WSDE?
 What are the challenges of taking over the workplace and running it as a WSDE?


Before beginning the course, I had no idea what to expect. Past economics courses focused on

macroeconomics and never dived into the topic of workers in the economy. I learned

that workers play a vital role in the economy, contributing their labor and skills to produce goods

and services. The study of workers in the economy involves examining various issues such as

wages, employment, labor market dynamics, inequality, and the organization of work. Two

prominent schools of economic thought, neoclassical and radical economics, provide different

perspectives on these issues. Additionally, the relationship between capitalism and inequality,

as well as the concept of worker self-directed enterprises (WSDEs), are crucial considerations in

understanding the dynamics of the workplace.


Although I can’t touch on everything I learned, these key concepts stood out above the rest:

neoclassical versus radical economics, capitalism and inequality, and work self-directed

enterprises (WSDEs). Neoclassical economists emphasize the role of supply and demand in

determining wages and employment outcomes. They argue that labor markets function efficiently

when wages are set through the interaction of labor supply and demand. Neoclassical theory

suggests that competition and free markets lead to optimal outcomes, with wages reflecting the

productivity and scarcity of workers' skills. In this view, market forces are seen as the primary

mechanism for allocating labor and determining wages. On the flip side, radical economists offer

a critique of the neoclassical approach, highlighting power dynamics and structural factors that

influence the workplace. They argue that labor markets are characterized by asymmetric power

relations, with employers having more bargaining power than individual workers. Radical

economists emphasize social and institutional factors that shape wage levels and employment
