Lo que aprendí de Don Álvaro sobre la empresa

Abstract

Lo que aprendió el autor de don Álvaro d´Ors sobre la empresa se remonta a una conferencia impartida por éste en la Universidad de Santiago a fines de la década de los sesenta, si bien su argumento lo reprodujese sucesivamente en otras publicaciones hasta los primeros años del 2000. En sustancia, las “Reflexiones” -que así comenzaba a intitularse la conferencia- consistían en una crítica a las sociedades mercantiles de capital, las cuales, al detentar personalidad jurídica, descartaban de ésta a la empresa a la que daban nombre, y con ella, a todos sus trabajadores. Una reforma de este statu quo solo podría tener lugar con la exclusión, de la falseada “sociedad”, de sus inversores, ya no “socios”, sino simples prestamistas. Por el contrario, socios lo serían aquéllos trabajadores que lo requiriesen, precisamente por sentirse estimulados por prestaciones que la empresa podría ofrecerles con la eventual ayuda subsidiaria del Estado. De este modo, la empresa recuperaría una libertad y una personalidad que había perdido en favor del capital, lo que facilitaría su conceptuación laboral en detrimento de la mercantil que hoy la domina.

What the author learned on the enterprise from Professor A. d´Ors dates back a conference delivered by him in the ´60, although the conference´s topic was repeated successivay in others publications early in 2000´s. En essence, “reflections·-which the conference was called like civil style thoughts- were a criticism to commercial corporations based in the capital, which, having legal personality, excluded from this latter to the enterprise to which they put trade name and excluded form his latter to the staff which worked on it. A reform of this “status quo” could only be possible with exclusion of the falsified corporation to its investors, because they were not “associates” but simple money landers. To the contrary, they would be associates those workers who wanted to become. Precisely for feeling themselves stimulated by welfare payments which the enterprise would be able of offer them with eventual state subsidiary assistance. In this way, the enterprise would recover with his workers a freedom and a personality which would hare last in favour of the capital, which would make easier its labour definition to the detriment of the commercial one which nowdays rules it over.
