Here's a top Google result... Sorry it's not perfect, but I'm not terribly interested in if public ownership is worse in more socialist places. Shrug

Yes, most people are shareholders in the western world.

Sorry you didn't know that?

Yes, it is... Anyone can be a shareholder. That's the whole point...

Being able to put a name to your behavior isn't an insult.

A worker's collective isn't the public at large.

Lol dude, that's how you find out if someone's using good logic: find out where it takes you.

>The initial commenter was obviosly hinting at communal ownership/worker collective type of ownership when he said "people at large"

And my point is how are the "people at large" ownership type companies functionally different from publicly traded companies?

Like, I don't know what to tell you; you're the one delving into irrelevant "gotchas"...

>It is cool indeed but I didn't say that.

I never said you did; I drew a logical inference from the assertion in your challenge.

By your logic there has never been a company owned by "people at large" in all of history... cool bro. Have fun with that no true scotsman type silliness.

Most people in Europe, America, and probably other places in the world, are shareholders; what currently existing "collective ownership" modeled countries do a better job of involving the general public in business ownership?
