Instead of conning taxpayers into inflationary bailouts for corporate-government racketeering, the Treasury should publicly disclose the bankruptcy of the Big Three automakers, the Federal Reserve Corporation and other private and unlawful monopolies that destroy our economy. The assets should be owned and operated by employees as done like Mondragon.

Good video, good comments and a very important and timely subject matter. This is the way forward!!!

In “Occupying Chairlifts” a simple rule tweak on inheritance ends up changing the direction and purpose of modern human life! Here’s a fair way to transition forward to where we’re rewarded for cooperating and creating instead of competing and conquering.

It's something specific we can demand. If this isnt the best answer, at least we’re thinking about what might be. Are we really just this close to having it work right?

Oh yeah, it's a Ski movie! “Occupying Chairlifts” on Youtube!

By the way, this is not soviet style forced collectivism just in case, this is a private corporation that is democratically run, but nontheless seeks profitability as once of its main goals in other form them to be translated into benefits for the workers

The workers voted for that salary range, that is the key difference

[Franco R]

Has never worked....maybe you should check your facts

[Porkion]

Collectivism has never worked, and to see this idea promoted on national tv and by the UN makes me really suspicious...

salary range is now 8 to 1, not 3 to 1

huge inequality still exists!

All the doubters should watch the bbc horizon "the mondragon experiment", and understand that today they are 60k worker-owners compared to the 17k in the 80es.

To all the people defending the coops: Just remember, that it works :-) How is only important if you want it to be important. For me it is, which is why iam trying to figure out what might stand in the way of coops where i live: Laws/institutions, ideas/culture, financing?
