You have written a lot recently about employees owning part of the company. One of the challenges this sort of system faces is that many (maybe most?) people would prefer to have money in their pocket today than maybe having some extra money in their pocket in the future. Payday loan companies are an excellent expression of this idea.

This problem is analogous to many similar social problems, such as poverty, where many (not all) cases are not a result of society, but the poor decision making of individuals. How do you propose we handle these types of cases? Should we work to make more options available, and let people decide for themselves which direction to go, or should we be more proactive?

Talking about Revolutions, currently the grievances against the global economic/power system is coming to a perilous state again, sort of say end of 19th century which with historic hindsight resulted in two world wars and the current global power system. How does one survive power struggle revolutions? That is: join the revolution, smash the system and hope for the best or be steadfast in gradual reforms?

This is a very good question, and something I've been thinking about a lot. I'll write on this!
