<p>Through employee stock-ownership plans (ESOPs), millions of Americans experience the benefits of being co-owners of their workplaces. But employment is only one kind of economic relationship that can be strengthened with co-ownership trusts. Louis Kelso, the inventor of the ESOP, also imagined other SOPs, including a consumer stock-ownership plan (CSOP). In an era when fixed employment may be in decline, perhaps the time is right to revisit the CSOP proposal.</p>
<p>This project explores the viability and prospects of CSOPs, especially in the emerging online economy.</p>
