I'm beginning a money project.

I have some questions.

What is the relationship between models of business ownership, and the distribution of capital?

Are private equity and shareholder models basically really good ways to take money from the many and clump it with the few?

What are the best models of business ownership from a sustainability and economic justice point of view?

How do they look if you're a) an SME wanting to grow, b) a mammouth - Dupont, HSBC - and c) in the government of a developing country? Also, if we think nationally, how would we do some of the useful things that existing models do - create funds for new stuff, and old people - if the money flow of cost - profit - dividend etc ran differently?

most of all, my question right now is, what do we know about this already?

I'm starting to read. I'll read and read and read. I'll post all my notes here. I'll maybe have a readership of 2. That's good. It just feels a bit odd to keep it all to myself.

Here goes...
