A system of producers cooperatives it argues is a new production mode in the sense of Marx. The LMF type of cooperatives reverses the existing capital/labour ratio and may realize a revolution also if the foundation of new cooperatives proceeds step by step in a capitalistic economy. A centralized economy without labour managed enterprises does not realizes socialism. The fundamental contradiction of capitalism is not the contradiction between plan and market, but the contradiction between capital and labour. Control of economic activity, the socialist view, must be realized through labour managed enterprises, not through state controlled enterprises.

Even if many mechanism have been suggested in the literature, the problem of free riding and strategic behaviour seems to be unavoidable. By an experiment we have studied individual behaviour testing two different voting rules: the mean voting and the median voting. Our aim is to investigate the individual voting process in order to assess what are the main determinants of preferences? misrepresentation. In particular the role of experience and information in affecting the strategic behaviour are considered.

The Effects of Intra-generational Tax Policies - This paper examines the long-run effects of intra-generational tax policies on demographic and macroeconomic variables as well as on the lifetime welfare of the representative generation in a simple Diamond?s OLG model of growth with endogenous fertility. We show that seemingly neutral redistributive tax policies on the younger generation may be very effective as regards both economic growth and welfare. Furthermore, the wage subsidy (tax) rate may be used as a policy instrument for reducing (increasing) population growth.

The essay has been focused on an incentive system tied to the work activity, which should be richer if compared to its traditional shape in economics. This different incentive system has been presented in terms of demand of incentives from the workers and supply of them from enterprises. Moreover with the aim of enhancing the design of incentive system the paper has drawn on organization theory ideas of incentives as alternative to control when the work activity is hard to keep under control. In this line, it has tried to demonstrate the effectiveness of an incentive system based on the two following assumptions: first of all, where the nature of the performance both as effort and outcome makes the control unsuitable, it is better to turn the process of monitoring into a process which effectively eliminates goal incongruence between individuals. Besides, a way to eliminate this incongruence, can count on an incentive system which has as point of reference the effort instead of the outcome, and is relied upon a demonstrated incentive to self-control.

In the short run this conflict rises because the social classes compete for not bearing the costs connected with the public expenditure and for appropriate of its benefit. The paper shows the necessary conditions such that a fiscal policy aimed to promote the capitalists? interest or the workers? interest determines a positive or negative effect on the demand level and the capital accumulation.
