Is the author's point that every business should be an employee-owned cooperative? How do we get there?




Quit your job and start a co-op I guess.

Unionize

Aren't many or even most of the startups essentially "employee owned"? I've heard that the average employee at NVidia is worth $25m.

So 900b total among its 36000 employees for a total of 900b/4.3 trillion market cap. Or roughly 20% employee owned (if that 25m number is correct).

This article (warning: obnoxious ads) is the only one I can find that claims to know who nvidea’s shareholders are and puts the number at 4.3%

I would not consider that to be employee owned (although I certainly wouldn’t mind the 25m)
