We can have democracy in this country, or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of a few, but we can’t have both.
Justice Louis Brandeis
The US, the European Union, Australia, and New Zeland have managed to do ‘both’ with a slow back and forth between political partie, and that is what we call democracy. We may have to continue with the back-and-forth for a while, but eventually the well-being of people must be the highest priority.
We must also do away with the distinction between owners and employees and get familiar with Radical Co-onwership as an alternative.
We need to experiment and get experience with things like,
- Ownership is based on contributions, not capital.
- Work be a collaboration, not competion.
- Make work be guided by the well-being of people, not whatever makes money.
