by Jonathan Burton

Inclusive ownership funds presumably would be enacted under a Labour-led government. […] But it’s understandably popular among U.S. workers: 55% of Americans support inclusive ownership funds, while just 20% are opposed, according to a March 2019 poll by Democracy Collaborative, a Washington, D.C.–based progressive research group, and YouGov, a U.K.-based market-research firm.
