Employee Ownership in Poland

Executive Director

Polish Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of Development and Finance Mateusz Jakub Morawiecki is a strong supporter of employee ownership and recently wrote a laudatory introduction to a new Polish translation of Equity: Why Employee Ownership Is Good for Business, published originally by Harvard Business School Press in 2005. It was authored by NCEO founder Corey Rosen, NCEO board member John Case, and Martin Staubus of the Beyster Institute.

Morawiecki wrote that "We should focus on creating mechanisms that will enable Polish people to make a profit out of capital rather than their own work alone. On the one hand, this capital will increase national savings by gradually leveling out Poland's negative investment balance; on the other hand, it will help the economy, companies, and people grow."
