Comment on Boeing says it can’t make money with fixed-price contracts

  All I said was 10 workers produce 100 dollars of surplus. Nowhere does that imply each produced 10 dollars. Only that their voting power commands 10 dollars of surplus. Read it again.

    So you have a system that doesn’t reward increased productivity between members, or even provides some metrics for measurement. You can have a successful project with non-performing members.

      Co ops directly reeard increased production, increased production would lead to increased surplus, and the surplus is democratically allocated, weather that’s bonuses or investments, thats extra money that everyone gets to decide what to do with. Thats more incentive than ive seen more than most workers in top down systems get.

        I don’t see that getting implemented in an engineering company.

        There are employee owned companies out there given the economics of creating an engineering company, but I don’t see a co-op format scaling. At most, it is going to be employees choosing leadership.
