Private Government: How Employers Rule Our Lives and Why We Don't Talk about It
If you disagree with the thesis of this article, let me ask you: how many times have you or someone you know hesitated leaving a current employer due to benefits uncertainties?<p>Or more to the point: how many startups never happen because the right people are unable to manage the personal risk of leaving defined employment?<p>IMO this the consideration -- human ability is not really allocated all that well when you're bonded to an employer without cheaper switching costs.
