   “In Europe, workers have significant say in what companies do. They don’t control or own them. Private property endures. “

   How is this different from the NSDAP of early 20th C?

   Part of it reads like wishful thinking? No, all of it is either wishful or muddled, and ignores the economic stagnation that nominally “socialist” nations have endured for decades. The author needs to come to terms with the fact that a nation on the edge of the world’s greatest pulpwood forest cannot provide toilet paper due to socialism. Think about that one for a moment!

   That noted, there is nothing inherently wrong with workers having a say in how their companies are run–in fact, this is a central tenet of the quality teaching of poka-yoke, “little improvements.” It relies on workers to let engineers and managers know “this is something that is getting in the way of me doing my job.” The trouble is when unions or the government get veto power over management, really.
