And this is coming from Forbes magazine! The Commons movement is having some impact on the heart of capitalism.
"Apple has 98,000 employees and earned $39.5 billion after tax over
the past year. If Apple was a worker cooperative, then each employee
would’ve received a $403,000 dividend on top of their salaries. Even the
lowest paid worker would’ve earned at least $403,000 in Apple as worker
cooperative. The first thing naysayers and disbelievers will say is 'but, Apple
isn’t a worker cooperative.' Mondragon is a worker cooperative that has
about 74,000 employees and earned $12.6 billion in revenue. Mondragon is
smaller than Apple, but it’s at a scale that demonstrates that we can
do better as employees."
