Cuba's ongoing economic reform programme includes a significant development of non-agricultural cooperatives that has received little comment in spite of the priority accorded to this officially preferred form of non-state activity. The article notes the ambiguous treatment of cooperatives in historical socialist debates in general and Cuban debates in particular. Non-agricultural cooperativism, although seen as bringing efficiency and income gains, is now being theorised with a greater emphasis than in the past on self-management and non-alienated forms of labour. Since the enabling legislation in 2012, the creation of such cooperatives has been rapid, mainly due to the conversion of small-scale state workplaces in the service sector, but such cooperatives, so far, remain a small component of the wider shift of workers into non-state employment. Nevertheless, economic, social, educational and media institutions are adapting to the economic, cultural and representational needs and challenges of the new cooperativism. the legislation addresses lessons from experience elsewhere by limiting the exploitation of hired labour by profit-sharing cooperative members. the article concludes by considering factors influencing the rise of the new cooperativism and its potential for rekindling a socialist consciousness of work.

Tekst se bavi problemskim pregledom nekih ideja suvremenog francuskog socijalnog teoretičara Andréa Gorza. Nakon osvrta na genezu i izvorišta Gorzove misli i njegova glavna djela, pažnja se usredotočuje na tematiku »kraja rada« i »radnog društva« kojom se Gorz intenzivno bavi u djelima Zbogom proletarijatu, Rajski putovi i, osobito, Metamorfoze rada. No glavna se analiza odnosi na posljednje Gorzovo djelo Sadašnja bijeda, mogu}e bogatstvo, u kojem su »kraj rada« i »radnog društva« ekstenzivno osvijetljeni iz različitih aspekata (zaposlenosti, radnog vremena, mondijalizacije itd.) i u kojem se projicira »utopijska« slika »postnajamnog društva«. Tekst pokušava pokazati da je bitna Gorzova intencija preobrazba države blagostanja u društvo blagostanja., The paper deals with a problem survey of some ideas by the contemporary French social theoretician Andre Gorz. After a review of the genesis and sources of Gorz theoretizing the attention is paid to the issues of the “end of labour” and the “labour society”, which are intensively dealt in his works “Goodbye to the Proleratiate”, “Paradise Ways” and especially in “Labour Metamorphoses”. However, the main analysis is concerned with Gorz's most recent work “Contemporary poverty, future richness”, in which the “end of labour” and “labour society” are extensively explained from various aspects (employment, working time, mondialization, etc.) and in which a “utopian” vision of a “post–hired–labour society” is designed. The paper tries to show that an important Gorz's intention refers to a transfromation of a well–fare state into a well–fare society., Der Text gibt einen problembezogenen Überblick einiger Gedanken des zeitgenössischen französischen Sozialtheoretikers Andre Gorz. Neben einem Rückblick auf die Genese und Quellen seiner Theorie und seines Hauptwerks wird die Thematik des “Endes der Arbeit” und der “Arbeitsgesellschaft” behandelt, mit der sich Gorz besonders intensiv in den Texten Adieu, Proletariat, Die Wege zum Paradies, und vor allem in Metamorphosen der Arbeit auseinandersetzt. Die Hauptanalyse bezieht sich jedoch auf sein jüngstes Werk Jetzige Armut, künftiger Reichtum, in dem das “Ende der Arbeit” und der “Arbeitsgesellschaft” unter den verschiedenen Aspekten (Beschäftigtsein, Arbeitszeit, Globalisierung u.a.) beleuchtet werden, und das “Utopiebild” einer Post–Lohnarbeitsgesellschaft" projiziert wird. In diesem Text wir der Versuch unternommen, zu zeigen, daß eine wesentliche Absicht von Gorz darin besteht, den Wohlstandsstaat in eine Wohlstandsgesellschaft zu verwandeln.
