In Transcending Capitalism through Cooperative Practices, Catherine P. Mulder asserts that "the goal of Marxian scholars should be to rid workplace exploitation and the various processes that secure its conditions of existence" as well as "the myriad restraints put on alternatives to capitalism." Toward this end, Mulder explores six contemporary "alternative" economic enterprises, including, most prominently, Worker Self-Directed Enterprises, to help think through her challenge. Mulder shows how exploitation and nonexploitation can be analytically discerned, and she describes some various contexts in which nonexploitation exists. Mulder's analysis, analytical approach, and contextual descriptions prompt important questions around the conditions of possibility for imagining and actualizing economic difference and transformation. To help elaborate and begin to address these questions, this essay turns toward a growing movement in Massachusetts in which communities are crafting and organizing around their own conditions of possibility in innovative and powerful ways.
