5.0 out of 5 starsAbsolutely read this
By Jasmine C. Shoshanna on January 4, 2014
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
If you care about the world and one of the ways we can create a golden world, this is a book to read. We have to do business differently, more humanly, more connected, where the employees own the business. So that we all may live in harmony and peace...

5.0 out of 5 starsAn inspiring and practical guide for all progressive minded business people
By A. Alexander on October 16, 2008
Format: Paperback Verified Purchase
I highly recommend this book. It is a revision of Abrams' 2005 book, The Company We Keep: Reinventing Small Business for People, Community and Place, which I read when it came out. He takes you through the history of South Mountain, a 32 year old design/build company he founded and examines the eight cornerstone philosophies and practices that underpin South Mountain and any green business that wants to harness the power of employee ownership, workplace democracy and community commitment. I met Abrams at the Green Business Conference in San Francisco in 2005. He is a wonderful, warm, down to earth human being and highly experienced business person. I love small business and how it can positively impact individuals and communities, and I could not book his book down.

5.0 out of 5 starsThe Companies We Keep
By Daniel J. Gainsboro on October 30, 2008
Format: Paperback
I just finished reading John Abram's "the Company We Keep" and found it truly inspriational. As the founder of two building companies that have struggled to bring many of the ideas discussed in this book, I truly appreciate the challenges faced and opportunities seized John describes so eloquently. He has figured out the right balance of fun and utility. The book is full of practical examples and real world applications. It is a must read for anyone considering creating or converting to an employee owned business. I highly recommend it and hope he continues to document his ever evolving story.

Great Book - our world needs to consider employee/owners co-operatives as a real solution for many of its problems. It's a start in the right direction.
