Dahl's Theories of Economic Democracy and its Logic Demonstration

Dahl's theory of economic democracy pursues the application of political democracy in economic enterprises, the enterprise of selt-government, and the maximal benefits of employees. Dahl justifies economic democracy from the relevance of freedom and property rights to economic democracy. Dahl makes the conclusion from the primary rights, the performance of which is liberty, that democracy proves to be the necessary guarantee to the basic political rights, and the indispensable means to more liberty, and thus that the development and perfection of democracy rely on and are unified to the realization and extension of liberty. As regards to property rights, Dahl insists that wealth goes pooled with the development of modern enterprises, the political reflection of which is the distortion of process of modern democracy, ignoring the allocation of property, which is the core of economic democracy. Furthermore, it is asserted that there is no necessary relevance of economic democracy to the nature of political institution.
