I have been reading a copy of the Trotskyist International. The article on Russia in particular interested me. In the article it was siad that although many of the state enterprises have benn privatised they are still not capitalist. This is because, the article goes, the owners are not largely concerned with the production of surplus value. Instead they are more concerned with the maintenance of wages and employment. They are more concerned with the increase in these factors rather than the maximisation of profit. This for the author of the article is a problem for the restoration process. My problem is that i just dont see how private owners of a manufacturing enterprise would concern himself with these matters when it is would be so obvious that the maximisation of profit is the thing to follow up: his aggrandisemnet. >From Rebecca
