    El efecto "derrame" (spillover) de la participación en el lugar de trabajo a la vida pública (Pateman, 1970) ha suscitado una nueva investigación predominantemente empírica, desprovista de resultados significativos, desvirtuando los elementos normativos fundamentales sin considerar la evolución del contexto histórico e institucional del trabajo. Una reinterpretación explorada del efecto reverso puede revelar cómo las transformaciones de las grandes empresas desde los años setenta, impulsadas por la contraofensiva neoliberal, han minado la participación democrática de los trabajadores. La obra de Pateman se inscribe en un período de agotamiento del capitalismo de posguerra al calor de las protestas de los sesenta y setenta. La desintegración vertical y la financiación de la empresa capitalista posteriormente ha alterado el contexto original de la propuesta de Pateman, adquiriendo un vigoroso papel exclusor de la participación popular y una inigualable maquinaria de asedio al interés público.

    The "spillover" effect of workplace participation into public life (Pateman, 1970) has given rise to new, predominantly empirical research, devoid of significant results, distorting fundamental normative elements without considering the evolution of the historical and institutional context of the job. An explored reinterpretation of the reverse effect can reveal how the transformations of large companies since the 1970s, driven by the neoliberal counteroffensive, have undermined the democratic participation of workers. Pateman's work is part of a period of exhaustion of post-war capitalism in the heat of the protests of the 60s and 70s. The vertical disintegration and financialization of the capitalist enterprise has subsequently altered the original context of Pateman's proposal, acquiring a vigorous excluding role of popular participation and an unparalleled machinery of siege to the public interest.
