Abstract

The Shchekino experiment and its variants were not the only attempts at reform that sought to alter the ruling group’s control over the process of surplus extraction. Throughout the 1970s there were a series of experimental initiatives that ran parallel to the Shchekino experiment. These were partially derived from it and were either responses to the problems it encountered or were extensions of some of its elements. Some of the initiatives were more direct attempts to solve problems that the Shchekino experiment had only indirectly tackled. For example, the introduction of technically validated norms was an indirect consequence of the introduction of the Shchekino experiment but the major aim of the experiments initiated at the Aksai and Dinamo plants. All of these experiments can be viewed as alternative attempts to resolve the problems identified in Figure 3.1, by tackling the central question of control over the labour process.
