Yeah, and as far as I can tell they don't really think much about the organization of production. Their model seems to be an unexamined nostalgia for an era of small-scale competitive capitalism, an entity whose actual existence must be seriously doubted. Weren't early small enterprises actually local monopolies, and didn't it take larger firms with national scope to develop something approaching competitive markets? I don't see how you can carry on sophisticated production across time & space without something like the enterprise form - not one owned by outside shareholders, necessarily, or run by despotic managers, of course. But when I said that, Alex Cockburn denounced me as an apologist for capital.
