Wrong. Anyone forming a business should be free to own it themselves, invite employee ownership, donate the entire thing to their dog, invite the government to nationalise it - in short, anyone who creates a company should be free to dispose and rearrange the ownership as they see fit. Within this spectrum there will be optimal, sub-optimal, and plainly idiotic arrangements. And that's the way things should be.
As soon as you start using language like 'should' or 'must' then you imply regulatory impositions, which will always create a set of winners and losers, but more importantly, erect a wall making it that much more difficult for the losers to get back into the winners column
- psb217 14y agoThe difference between "should" and "must" is significant. If I said: "people should not be hypocrites" and "people should be free to say what they want", my statements would not be incompatible or contradictory. In the same way, simultaneously holding the beliefs "companies should be employee owned" and "anyone forming a business should be free to own it themselves" is possible without cognitive dissonance.
