Recovering solidarity? Work, struggle, and cooperation among Italian recovered enterprises

Economic Anthropology, 2021, vol. 8, issue 1, 74-85

Abstract: Since the global financial crisis of 2008, thousands of workers across the world have revived bankrupt businesses without—and often against—the involvement of their previous owners. This kind of labor struggle is usually referred to as workers “recovering an enterprise.” Cases of recovery have been reported both in the United States and in European countries, from Spain and France to Greece and Italy. This article looks at the Italian phenomenon by analyzing a case study that shows how a complex history with capital, experiences of labor conflict and cooperation, and the creation of civil alliances are all key to workers' contemporary solidarity.
