The Kelso Institute
The Kelso Institute is dedicated to the work of Louis Kelso, the creator of the ESOP concept and promoter of a more comprehensive economic paradigm to foster the creation of broad-based capital ownership. Kelso's economic theories are based on the proposition that, as the production of goods and services changes from labor intensive to capital intensive, the way that every person earns his or her income must change in the same way. This requires broad-based ownership of capital and strengthened property laws to ensure that the capital owners collect the wages of their capital with the same faithfulness that the labor workers now collect the wages of their labor.
