This is very interesting. Something like the Mondragon Corporation, a worker owned corporation and a federation of worker cooperatives in Basque, might be a very good thing for artists. " The A Corp model helps them set up collective ownership..." Strickler's ideas could well lend themselves to something along those lines.

Very cool! I wasn't familiar with the Mondragon Corporation. Definitely seems like a very complimentary concept to the A Corp model.

The fact that Strickler brought up Our Band Could Be Your Life and the work of Ben Davis in his talk made me even happier. Thanks for sharing about what he is doing. It made my morning bright & hopeful.

Our Band Could Be Your Life is very much a foundational text for Infinite Catalog as well - the idea that you can start a label and do profit share deals and be transparent was v revolutionary to me as someone who'd only ever heard about labels being shady
