ned by the term « training » on the contrary, the possibilities of autonomy are greater, but the same tendency exists towards « introversion » as is encountered by « co-operativism », given the impossibility of modifying circumambient society. The conclusion is that stmctural transformations must take place in society before the application of « self-management », so that the practice can fully free its potentiality for emancipation. LANZA - The author engages in an analysis of the economie mechanisms of a society in order to pick out those which are functional for a self-managed society. Hence, nor a prefiguration of the economie structure, but a search for a mcthod of correlating « economie means » with « socia! ends ». The analysis focusses on the self-managed production unit and its objectives as the base element so as to single out its characteristics, decision-making procedure and dimensions. The author then goes on to analyse the relations between firms and between them and consumers. Recognizing the impossibility of rejecting the role of exchange value in the circulation of goods, he considers what function money should have in a post-revolutionary society. An overall examination of the essential elements of the market and of planning Jeads the author to the rejection of a solution which would synthesize these two regimes. In its piace he considers the possibility of different sectors, each of which is autonomous, but linked to the others so as to blend ecor,omic dynamism with equality. The author examines three sectors: a market one, a partially planned one and a completdy planned one. These sectors are viewed not only from an economie angle but also from an « ideologica! » one, since they would seem to correspond to the main strands of anarchist thought: individualism, collectivism and communism. The terms market and planning are perhaps inappropriate given the particular caracteristics they take on, above all in the presence of a changed socia! context which follows a logie different from the current one. In fact the author considers that the task of the revolution must also be that of transferring economie relationships to operation in a dimension which goes « beyond the economy ». PRANDSTRALLER - The author propounds the necessity of establishing a mutuai relationship between the real meeds of society and enterprises which would exclude the manipulation of needs by the latter. This manipulation exists as much under capitalism as under bureaucratic collectivism, with needs being deterinined and evaluated at the centre rather than in the appropriate location. True self-management must, on the contrary, re-establish an authentic relationship between needs and production. The author examines the entrepreneurial function in this light, pondering whether it will stili be carried on in a self-management project. After answering aflirmatively, he asks himself in what kind of enterprise an entrepreneurship capable of satisfying needs can be put into practice. With this question in mind he considers small, medium-size and large enterprises. The author's conclusion is that the best form of self-management - and also the 235
