What is shared capitalism? When I first came across the term last year, I just stared at the words for a while. Shared capitalism...was this something akin to social entrepreneurship? intrapreneurship? or something totally different?
Well, if you follow the lead of the Foundation for Enterprise Development, then shared capitalism is most equivalent to capitalism where employees have some share of ownership in a company. If you are still a bit confused, then I suggest you take a look at the
Shared Capitalism and Employee Ownership: The Scholarly Agenda Proceedings of the 2009 Beyster Fellowship Symposium. In particular, there is an extensive list of new and existing data sources for research in this area starting on page 12 of the document.
