"Towards a More Democratic Capitalism" http://www.dlc.org/print.cfm?contentid=1465 ESOP-s offer a promising way to open today's closed-system capitalism. But we need other means and incentives to make ownership participation a significant force in advancing opportunity and prosperity. One possibility: related enterprise stock ownership plans (RESOP). These would encourage companies to make owners not only of their direct employees, but of others in their commercial network, such as those working for their suppliers and distributors and even free agent entrepreneurs who provide contract services.
