    Hi Platt

    Platt said:
    Employee-owned companies are corporations where employees own the
    majority of the stock and get to pick the board of directors. Being
    human, they will vote their self-interests, often to the detriment of
    the company's ability to compete and/or stay in business.

    Paul:
    I thought you were in favour of Randian "self-interest." If
    self-interest is detrimental to profitability, there appears to be a
    contradiction in your ideals here. Or are corporations better off being
    run by a CEO who knows best?

    Regards
