- spaetzleesser 5y agoIt would definitely be better off if more people felt they were participating in economic growth. Over the last few decades most growth has gone to a small number of people and the rest didn't really benefit. This leads to a very cynical and resigned attitude.
- sudosysgen 5y agoNot really possible. If everyone is an owner, no one is an owner. You can try completely abolishing the worker/owner dichotomy though, which is very difficult but probably possible.
- kumarvvr 5y agoYou need a healthy mix of workers and owners. Those owners need incentives, and workers need protection. Money is a powerful drug and society needs to tame the habit. Otherwise, you will end up with conditions equal to slavery for the workers and royalty for the capital owners. All this will lead to is revolutions and bloodshed. Its ok to sacrifice rapid growth, in cycles, to steady but slower growth that has none.
