Idea Submission for The People's Money:
\n
One solution is to empower individuals through education on worker cooperatives, a democratic business model that distributes profits among workers. Simultaneously, creating a dedicated market for cooperatives can provide a platform for these businesses to thrive and compete with traditional corporations. By combining these strategies, we can address wealth inequality, create jobs, and foster economic growth in the Bronx.
\n
What is the problem your idea aims to address?
\n
Currently The concentration of wealth has been compared to that of feudalism and slavery. Wealth inequality in NYC is a pressing issue, particularly in the Bronx. This inequality is exacerbated by high unemployment rates and the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few.
