Subject: Re: AUT: back to crisis theory


I found this idea interesting :

<As far as I am concerned the widespread, indeed pervasive <refusal of work

<was at the heart of the crisis of state capitalism in the East. <The
<withdrawal of industrial efficiency, as Veblen would say, <undermined
<Soviet productivity not only in agriculture but in most <industries.
<Stalinists could force workers to build factories, they <couldn't force
<them to write good software. As time went by the most important <refusal of

<work was the refusal to provide the state with creativity and <innovation.


But is there some references on this or can Harry develop this vision a little
more ? 

Thanx
