Democratization of the Economy

Individuals' pur­suit of pure self-interest leads to results that are not effi­ci­ent. For this rea­son, it is import­ant to shift decision-making power from stock owners to a lar­ger group of public sta­ke­hol­ders. The Economy we think about is mar­ked by an asser­tive unio­ni­zed manage­ment policy, a high rate of unio­niza­tion and employees direct influ­ence on invest­ment decisions.
