Enterprise Beyond the Firm

What is it about?

Capitalist private property opposes "personal" private property insofar as it separates the worker from actual production means by seeking, through accumulation, to improve value for value and not the relation with nature. It is necessary to think of enterprise outside of the company context when reflecting upon the end purpose and means of collective, citizen action. Indeed, from the methodological standpoint, to view an enterprise as an organisation without differentiating it from the company, when studying entrepreneurial collective action, leads to a deadlock. Indeed, the absence of a legal definition of enterprise reduces the understanding and the evaluation of its performance to that of a company which is the object of a legal definition. The implicit shift thus created facilitates the assimilation of one with the other in a funnel effect that reduces collective projects to the sole projects of capital providers.
