Are we moving to more worker-owned firms?
18th September 2019
This article looks at the notion of increased worker ownership of firms - with the Left looking at the idea in both the UK and the US. Of course, European firm ownership is already predicated upon a different ownership model and perhaps this accounts for lower inequality to some extent.
There's lots to ponder - why might worker-ownership enhance productivity? But if it was self-evident that this was the case, why aren't there more worker-owned firms? And how might this also constrain executive pay?
