Commons Capitalism Research

Commons Capitalism is now being developed through a series of formal research papers examining its economic, legal, and institutional foundations.

The first paper, “Commons Capitalism: A Terminological and Conceptual Framework for Understanding the Commons Capitalism Entity,” by Jonathan D. Cope, is available through SSRN and Zenodo.

Additional research papers will address the economic viability, capital structure, worker benefits, intergenerational stewardship, and other implications of the Commons Capitalism model.

The Treatise, starting with Part I, Chapter I, which will discuss “Why Commons Capitalism?” because readers need to know why it is important to the United States economy.

The contents of Part I — The Foundations of Commons Capitalism, Chapter 1 — Why Commons Capitalism? are, tentatively:

1. 1.1. The Problem of Productivity, Pay, and Surplus
   1.2. The Missing Worker-Benefiting Enterprise Form
   1.3. .  .  . 1.10. Why Intergenerational Development Must Begin Now

After a few Sections are prepared for Chapter 1, I want to start providing the Treatise as a PDF through a download link to give readers the unified work with:

• The original section-numbering convention;
• Continuous footnote numbering;
• A clickable table of contents;
• Internal links and bookmarks;
• A running bibliography and appendices;
• Consistent page numbers, headings, and formatting.
