Workers Ownership and Profit-Sharing in a New Capitalist Model?

Rapport What can be done to take the capitalist system out of its current predicament? What can unions do to reverse the trend to inequality and direct capitalism into a more socially desirable direction? This report shows a way forward. It makes the case that the best path forward for capitalism is to increase workers’ stake in the capital of their firm and in capital ownership more broadly and that the best strategy for unions is to take a lead role in promoting this development.

Make market capitalism benefit all

Increased employee ownership and profit-sharing is not the whole solution to inequality or financial instability or the other problems that afflict advanced economies. But it is a necessary part of any solution and the one with the greatest potential for moving market capitalism forward in ways that benefit all.

The report has been written by Professor Richard B Freeman at Harvard, NBER, CEP and London School of Economics.
