Reseña

Wealth inequality is one of the most pressing issues of our time.
Broad-based business ownership that includes employees helps
improve lives and creates a more dynamic economy. Throughout the
book, the authors analyze and demonstrate how models of shared
ownership can serve as building blocks towards shared prosperity
and help counter the growing income disparity faced by many nations.
This book is a collaborative effort of academics, researchers, and professionals
from US, Mexico, Peru, Argentina, France, Spain, and
Colombia. These pages contribute to the construction of an economic
democracy while promoting a movement that stimulates growth,
strengthens businesses, contributes to improving wages and savings
whilst dignifying workers and building social progress.
Employee Ownership in the Americas. A Path to Shared Prosperity
was inspired by companies and entrepreneurs who favor the participation
of employees in decision making and include them as owners, by
non-profit organizations that promote employee ownership, and by the
research and experience of several of its authors. The case studies
presented demonstrate that broad-based employee ownership not
only achieves better job performance in large companies and small
businesses, but also aligns with other trends that are becoming the new
normal, such as shared capitalism, corporate responsibility beyond
shareholder primacy, and community wealth creation.
