The Ownership Solution: A Capitalism That Works for Everyone

The Ownership Solution is about giving capitalism a human face by ensuring that all participants in the economy share the responsibilities and reap the rewards of its success. Gates operates from the fundamental assumption that people are likely to become better stewards of all the systems to which they belong - social, political, fiscal, cultural, and natural - as they gain a personal stake in the economic system. Gates describes numerous private - and public-sector 'ownership engineering' initiatives around the world. Drawing from his experience advising over two dozen nations, Gates offers a set of strategy and policy recommendations to accelerate this trend towards capitalism by and for the people. The Ownership Solution charts a course for free enterprise well into the 21st century, offering a compelling prescription that the future can be different - and better - for all.
