The Universal Capitalism Movement in the United States

Ward Morehouse, Stuart Speiser and Ken Taylor

Review of Social Economy, 2000, vol. 58, issue 1, 63-80

Abstract: Ideas on how to make the fruits of capitalism more braodly enjoyed are not new. A rich body of thought exists advocating a redefinition of socioeconomic mechanisms to this end within the context of private property. This article traces the evolution of this thinking within the United States from before the American Revolution to the present. The culmination of this intellectual tradition is the universal stock ownership plan (USOP). The means of, and prospects for, experimenting with such an initiative are discussed.
