In this episode, I examine the idea that worker co-ops offer a better alternative to traditional capitalism and explain why, despite good intentions, they have never become a widespread solution. We explore incentives, risk, human nature, and the practical realities of starting and growing organizations.

I also discuss the strengths and weaknesses of both co-ops and capitalism, why systems must account for human nature, and how Christian principles should guide the way we approach work, ownership, and serving others.
