本文以现代工人合作社和社会企业的国内和国际插图为基础，展示了这些社会财产的做法如何产生了比传统企业更民主的工作场所管理和公平的社会结果。这篇文章提出的公共政策建议将鼓励在美国建立合作企业，同时提供一种方式，将高薪工作固定在美国社区，并将分享所有权和控制权的机会扩大到劳动人民。文章最后考虑到，将实际民主权利扩展到经济领域可如何增强公民在政治和公民生活领域进行对话和民主决策的能力和信心。
Grounded in both domestic and international illustrations of modern-day worker cooperatives and social enterprises, this article shows how the practices of these examples of social property give rise to more democratic management of the workplace and equitable outcomes for society than would ever be possible with conventionally owned enterprises. The article offers public policy proposals that would encourage the formation of cooperative enterprises in the United States, at once offering a way to anchor well-paid jobs in U.S. communities and to extend the opportunity for shared ownership and control to working people. The article concludes with a consideration of how the extension of practical democratic rights into the economic realm might enhance citizens' capacity for and confidence in dialogue and democratic decision making in the political and civic realms of life.
