Monopolies are better for shareholder value. They destroy competition and the fair market, but shareholder value is all that counts nowadays. So here we are. And the worst offenders are probably in the IT industry and startup world.
Suppose we could wave a magic wand and require that some fixed percentage (or more) of every corporation had to be owned by employees. Would that help resolve the problem?
Suppose further that corporate managers were prohibited from making tax-advantaged donations to non-profits except upon a fixed percentage of employees approving the donation. Would that help?
Aside from employees, there are also the communities within which corporations operate. Suppose we required that a certain percentage of any taxable profits be earmarked for donation to non-profits within the communities within which the corporations operate. Would that help? But maybe we would we have to pair this with the proposal above for this to work?
