I think the Mondragon cooperative are much more economically just than the typical capitalist corporation.
Imagine management having to negotiate for their salaries with workers.

The greater justice. Oh, that was
really good!!! But what does it mean? Are you talking about equality of parties in opportunity or opportunism based on available cash? Or something else?
In a previous example I mentioned, management is employed at the whim of the workers. Ironically, in these instances you always find the most generous workers and the most agreeable management. Go figure.
We want to build, say, a restaurant. Do we get waiters, dishwashers, receptionist, cooks to put up equal collateral with the bank so that they can get a loan? Or do we find one or more people with $$ to spare and show them a great idea, and hope they’ll give us a job by having them pay the up front costs?
I guess what I'm askin is how to move towards a Mondragon cooperative?
