Micro Ownership Societies and Win-Win Policy

Venture capital and labor have cooperated for decades: founders and employees take equity, investors take risk, and when it works both sides are enriched. That is a micro Ownership Society, and it can be generalised.

• —Describe how equity aligns investor and employee payoffs.
• —Compare ESOPs, options and profit sharing as mechanisms.
• —Map each policy proposal to one of Nowak's five rules.
