“Any concession which the capitalist makes to the worker is the concession which the farmer makes to his beasts─to feed them better that they may work more.”
─Joan Robinson, Economist
“Commons Capitalism, as structured, is the only plausible alternative enterprise form that could become dominant alongside capitalism, while remaining fully market-facing and without converting private property into public or collective property.”
─Apologia
Commons Capitalism is a viable model hybrid economic system that is neither capitalism nor socialism. Commons Capitalism (1) integrates the capitalist principles of profit-making and market competition with the management of net profits as a commons, (a) to equitably distribute business wealth to past, present, and future workers and (b) thereby enrich communities via tiered redistribution, and (2) reduces the concentration of that wealth in the economic elite.
