The book argues that working people need their own separate chamber in parliament to balance the domination of millionaire MPs holding directorships. It uses Marx's analysis of the state as an instrument of class domination, and examines schemes for working people's political autonomy from the Chartists, through anarchism, syndicalism, Fascism and the system of workers' self-management in Yugoslavia, as well as the corporative management system adopted in post-War Europe. This set up negotiations between government, management and unions to settle industrial disputes and manage the economy.
