Mondragon model

Draft Summary for a business concept that has been proven in the Basque region of Spain:

- worker owned businesses - business works for the good of the community NOT for the good of an individual - workers vote for board of directors - only workers can be directors, no outsiders - board votes for a CEO with broad powers - broad powers are ONLY to serve the interests of the whole - each week the board meets and reviews performance of CEO and decides if he/she should remain CEO - business provides housing, and a lot of others stuff that western people usually think of as "your own problem" - as a result, governments around these businesses are small - because the government is small and the worker-owned businesses are large, the government is controlled by the people
