“Worker ownership” offers both an alternative to the dominant capitalist model of the employment relationship and a means to broaden the ownership of wealth in society.

In the ASA Research and Policy workshop “The Sociology of Worker Ownership: New Data Sets and Research Approaches,” leading researchers introduce several datasets–some of which are new and most of which are publicly available–that enable the study of worker ownership and its effects. 

The prerecorded video opens with comments from Joyce Rothschild and Joseph Blasi, and is moderated by Adria Scharf.  Janet Boguslaw, Laura Hanson Schlachter, Nancy Weifek, and Joseph Blasi present data sets and research. Sarah Reibstein also contributed.

Join the live Q&A with the presenters on Tues., August 11th at 5:30 EDT, as part of the ASA alternative virtual engagement event program.
