Worker-owned co-ops are a cure for all of this.
- badpun 7y agoDo you think that, for example, a worker-owned Intel could ever be a thing? I think this model works only for simple businesses.
- dirtyaura 7y agoHuawei is/was worker-owned.
- teddyh 7y agoOne could argue that Huawei, and all chinese companies, are effectively state-owned.
- tonyedgecombe 7y agoThere are some quite substantial worker owned businesses around the world.
- aalleavitch 7y agoDo they need to be so complex? Would it not make as much sense for Intel to be broken up into a large number of individual autonomous entities that then cooperate with each other on their own terms?
- radu_floricica 7y agoCommunists tried that. Didn't work very well. Worker owned co-ops will indeed solve this problem, because they are very hard to scale. So they won't ever reach the level where mazes are a real problem. This being said, they also have the potential to come with their own set of issues - trying to get a bunch of people to decide things is also a very time consuming endeavor.
