@GuerillaOntologist @tbeckett My org (the Vermont Employee Ownership Center) works with both #workercoops and #ESOPs, so I've definitely given this some thought. The two structures seem to be based on two distinct ideological positions: #EconomicDemocracy and #SharedCapitalism, respectively. Got into some good discussion on the nuances of their overlaps and differences with @ntnsndr and others at the recent #KelsoWorkshop.

@mayel The act of comping @ntnsndr for a beer at a #kelsoworkshop afterparty in $FAIR has gotten me thinking along these lines...

This is the champagne a bunch of #ESOP people are about to drink after talking about employee owned #Colorado beer. #kelsoworkshop

Observation: A difference between #SharedCapitalism and #EconomicDemocracy is that the profitable sale of an #employeeowned company is a triumph for advocates of the former, but a tragedy for advocates of the latter.

Hey look it's @mattcropp talking about employee ownership at the Rutgers #kelsoworkshop!
Neoliberal subjects beware: Takao Kato has found that individual incentive pay is far less effective than, and can reduce the gains from, group incentive pay. #kelsoworkshop
