=Description=

Elias Crim:

"Two powerful ideas—shared ownership and steward ownership—are driving a radically different way of thinking about assets these days. The first is the domain of worker co-ops, ESOPs, and community land trusts, for example.

The second is a strategy—still better known in Europe than in the U.S.—by which a company preserves its purpose by using a trust to separate governance from economic interests.

These two powerful frameworks meet in a new book jointly published and just out today from Infrastructure for Shared Ownership (sharedownership.us), Common Trust (common-trust.com), and the Purpose Foundation (purpose-us.com). Its authors are Charity May, Jay Standish, Chelsea Robinson, Zoe Schlag, and Derek Razo."

One of the most intriguing aspects of the book is its discussion of what will be for many readers wholly new business models:

* Employee-owned holding companies

* Cross shareholding between banks and businesses

* Municipal strategies for assets holdings

* Non-profit ownership of business networks "
