Part memoir and part examination of a new business model, the 2005 release of John Abrams' The Company We Keep marked the debut of an important and prescient voice in the literature of American business. Thoroughly revised and with a broader focus on employee ownership and workplace democracy, Companies We Keep excels at demonstrating that when employees make the decisions, bear the consequences, and share in the rewards, better decisions are likely to result. Abrams shows how companies can flourish when they become democratic communities of enterprise.
