Worker Cooperatives/Worker Owned Companies are an interesting study. Spain's Mondragon Corporation is likely one of the world's largest. Mondragon's website.
Here is a list from the National Center for Employee Ownership listing the Top 100 Companies in the US that are employee owned. Some are worker cooperatives while many are Employee Stock Ownership Plans. Had UPS chosen not to go public in 1998', it's possible UPS might also be on this list.

wrong wages are not necessarily tied to the cost of goods. so when corporations betrayed america, and started outsourcing american jobs to 3rd world dictatorships where the wages are $0.25 / hr, the corporations did not do it to pass the savings onto americans: they did it to make more profits.
and if u notice nowadays things are getting more and more expensive but your wages dont rise with the cost of goods.

Manufactured goods are cheaper today than 30 years ago adjusted for inflation.
yea i think your right, but america did not benefit from globalization because of the quality jobs it lost. the good news is the deindustrialisation of america has brought pain and has forced communities to develop alternative economic models to capitalism, like worker cooperatives.

You dream of a socialist paradise like Venezuela.

im not talking about government control, i know its hard for you to wrap your head around that at your age and the fact that you've been lied to. i guess your names says it all:

Maybe you should worry more about your own country?

Or his grammar. Hard to take anyone serious when they cannot even master the basics of punctuation, capitalization, or taking two seconds to hit the spellcheck button.

The quality jobs were mainly in manufacturing to 3rd world countries but also in financial to countries like Germany, Austria, Switzerland, etc.
I have mixed feelings about globalization myself when it results in blue-collar low/no skill good-paying jobs to 3rd world countries.
I have no problem with the relocation of high-paying jobs to other countries that have living standards comparable to the USA.

This lack of concern with grammar and spelling and clear communication is a continuing concern of the American educational system and American businesses.
People tend to forgive less than precise spoken communications but object to poor written communications.
Preparing one's self to working in a higher paying job or flipping burgers is a choice that young people are making, whether they realize it or not.
I try to ignore poor communications and concentrate on the ideas expressed but it is hard.
UpState does an excellent job with grammar, spelling and precise communications ... we should all look to him as a strong example.
Or not.

Check your facts and cite your sources for those claims. Speculators hung 100 years ago?

Too bad you didn't have anything to say. You do a great job though of spewing rhetoric and propaganda!
