Abstract
During the 20th century, developed societies increasingly accepted that democracy could not stop at politics, and had to extend to aspects of the economy as well. Democracy in the economy began – and continues – with workers’ rights. Ewan McGaughey and the Democratic Audit team explore how far they have been handled democratically and effectively in the UK.
