The Transformation of Capitalist Society
With the collapse of communism in Eastern Europe and the Soviet Union, there is a widespread assumption that capitalism is triumphant and immutable. It is now necessary for scholars to assess the strengths and weaknesses of capitalism, and the emerging processes that are transforming it. In "The Transformation of Capitalist Society", Harris presents a compelling interpretation of the self-transformative capacities of capitalism. He argues that economic democracy and employee ownership and control are viable, socio-economic strategies of the transformation of capitalist societies. This book provides a valuable historical, economic, and sociological analysis of changes in the capitalist system.

HOW TO GET A COPY OF THIS BOOK
The prices on Amazon are ridiculous, but after searching a bit I came across the website of Zellig Harris' daughter, and after contacting her she was more than willing to send me a copy.
I asked her if it's alright to notify others here about it and she agreed.
So, if you're looking for a copy, simply contact her here: https://zelligharristtocs.webs.com/co...
As for the book itself:
It was a very interesting read.
In my opinion, it could have been shorter, but well-written.
I wanted to read the book because of the author and not because of the subject. After reading the biography on Harris, I wanted to read something of his.
He was truly an interesting person, and his ideas are worth your time.
