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.

|
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

(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.
