Katalyst’s Martin Curley joined a fascinating two-day conference on ‘Transforming Ownership in Times of Overlapping Crises‘ hosted by the University of Amsterdam and Utrecht University.
A range of experts discussed historical examples and future possibilities for redesigning the ownership structure of companies. Such efforts could help to reduce the negative impact of many current corporate practices, and the growing concentration of ownership in many industries.
One of the main takeaways is that alternatives to the dominant ownership models – particularly those where workers own some or all of a company – are not fantasies, but have many precendents in law and practice which could be supported and expanded.
