dreams for prosperity sought by millions of individuals. However, Freeman's thesis that labor
126_40
markets will not always be friendly to university-educated workers is enjoying a revival in the
126_41
early twenty-first century. This re-consideration has gained momentum since the high unemployment
126_42
and underemployment of college graduates following the Great Recession of 2008 as well as trends in
126_43
globalization that have led to the off shoring of many jobs done by lawyers, accountants,
126_44
information technology workers, and other well-educated professionals.
126_45
Freeman has made the case that expanding programs for employee ownership and broader-based profit
126_46
sharing would help reduce inequality in the United States. He co-wrote with Joseph R. Blasi and
126_47
Douglas L. Kruse of Rutgers The Citizen’s Share: Reducing Inequality in the Twenty-first Century
126_48
(New Haven: Yale University Press, 2013), a work that French economist Thomas Piketty credited for
126_49
tracing how “America used to be based on broad access to wealth and property” and then showing “how
126_50
to revive” this tradition. Freeman has also written with Kimberly Ann Elliott studies of how
126_51
human rights vigilantes have generated activism and consumer consciousness about apparel and other
126_52
consumer products often manufactured under sweatshop labor conditions. Freeman carries out many
126_53
studies of China's economy, in particular comparative studies of scientific innovation and
126_54
workforces in China, the United States, and several other nations.
