  Yes, a company which shares the results of it’s efforts between all involved and not one person or family.

    So a company whose ownership is open to the public, with that ownership divided into “shares”. And all the “share” holders can cooperate to decide the direction of the company…what would one call this novel form of organizing a venture…a “cooperation”?

      Not open to the public. Open to those who actually contribute to it’s operations.

      And in none of your objections can you justify the CEO pay and the political power they weild. 40x the lowest paid worker, and no more.

        Ok so. Shares of ownership are open only to employees. How does this company get external investment? I suppose outside entities are allowed to invest with an expectation of a return on investment?

      Do you think shareholders want their money going to extravagent buildings, Italian desks, and billions in hoarded cash?

      Your view of “shareholders” is that they are just cash cows to be milked and not financial participants. As a shareholder I gained fourteen cents this year; how much did the CEO gain?

      Only open to the Workers, not the public, and it’s a Worker Co-operative. An existing Socialist organizational structure, not new.
