| 摘要： | My 14 years as the economist of the Scottish Trades Union Congress (STUC) meant that I had to become something of an expert in the economics of public transport in Scotland. I had always been interested in public transport, believing it vital to human progress decades before today's widespread concern about climate change. This had developed into a personal fascination with public transport vehicles. For my first travel to school, I had the pleasure of riding on Edinburgh Corporation's elegant Shrubhill-built "dome standard" trams, followed by its huge fleet of Metro-Cammell Orion-bodied Leyland Titan PD2/20s after the trams were ended in 1956. I had also supported workers' control of the companies in which they were employed. This first attracted my serious attention when studying the experience of the Yugoslav economy around 20 years previously, and while I had learned from that, and the failure of the 1975-83 Triumph motorcycle factory cooperative at Meriden, I remained convinced that the concept was at base a good one. Not without problems, but fundamentally right. |
