Marketplace (PM)

Week of January 2

  • Kai talks with Edgar Dworsky, a consumer protections expert, about his work cataloging shrinkflation for years.
  • A new law will go into effect next year in California aimed at promoting worker-owned businesses. Worker cooperatives and similar models have been found to be beneficial for both workers and businesses, creating a virtuous cycle where workers have a stake in improving the productivity of the business because they’ll get a share in its success. The model could also offer an avenue for succession for the hundreds of thousands of businesses in the state with owners nearing retirement. Marketplace’s Meghan McCarty Carino reports.
