| Research Abstract |
After the January struggle and the National Assembly election in 1919, Hilferding expected that the Council system would strengthen economic and political democracy. In the Ruhr strike he urged the government to announce the declaration which he had drafted for the Socialization Commission, and collaborated on the governmental proclamation. Then he negotiated with the Central Council for a resolution. In the Socialization Commission he emphasized selfcontrol of the socialized coal industry within the organization of the national economy, and insisted on co-determination as well as the equal rights for workers. Different from the minority members who wished to control under private ownership, Hilferding and the majority argued for co-ownership by an indepent public corporation, rejecting both monopolistic domination and bureaucratic natinalization. They suggested free management on the base of economic democracy with participation of workers and consumers under limited state supervision. He supported the general communalization proposal respecting municipal autonomy, and recommended elastic management in the socialized pelagic fishery. In the March struggle he tried to reconstruct the coalition cabinet in vain. He thought of the serious split in the workers and anticipated continuing capitalism. At the 2-nd conference of the Worker's and Soldiers' Council he regarded the Socialization Law as aiming at mixed econimy and labor-capital reconciliation. He criticized the Common Economy plan of the Economic Ministry for encouraging cartels at the 10-th trade union conference in July. He himself advocated immediate socialization of monopolistic industries and laid stress on the important rolls of managers and engineers for the sake of econimic stability and productivity at the same time. He pursued democratic reform and therefore paid attention to mass workers always. His arguements considerably influenced the government against the plan of the Economic Ministry.
