I appreciate a long read, but the polemic at the start turned me off.

Anyone got a tldr?

Co-ops have been shown to be less likely to fail than traditional businesses in their first ten years. The article argues that if Canada spent $1b on helping workers to purchase businesses from retiring entrepreneurs, it would drastically raise the wealth of the poorest citizens and allow for more stable businesses.

Coops are a great idea. I wish we had more of them.
