Welcome to the ESOP Podcast's Winter Wonderland, where we take the opportunity to revisit some of our favorite episodes. We're going to start off with Corey Rosen, founder of The National Center for Employee Ownership, who opened up season six for us talking about his book with coauthor John Case, Ownership: Reinventing Companies, Capitalism, and Who Owns What. You can purchase the book now at employee-owned Raven Bookstore here. Corey discusses his new book, federal/state EO legislation, collaborations, and why this may be employee ownership's moment.
We also want to take this opportunity to congratulate Corey. His book was selected the 2023 winner of the William Foote Whyte and Kathleen King Whyte Book Prize, which is issued by the Institute for the Study of Employee Ownership at the Rutgers University School of Management and Labor Relations.
