I'm still skeptical of 'anti-capitalist liberalism' as a concept. Capital is the fundamental unit of liberalism, the first and best lever a liberal has: as i understand it, the liberal principle of equality is guaranteed by protecting individual autonomy (within the social contract), through enshrining the right to private property. Property rights are alienable and have value, and alienable value is capital.
Ellerman's 'workplace democracy' to me seems a sop to further left... [@sz_duras](https://me.dm/@sz_duras )
