塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯：节俭·摘录 462
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
The experiments were to a certain extent brought to an end by the greed or laziness of the colliers, who have for a time destroyed the prosperity of the iron trade. Messrs. Greening and Co. started with great enthusiasm; and the results were very successful as regards the workpeople. Nothing could have been better than the spirit of goodwill, and even devotion, which was displayed by many of them. But, unhappily, contracts were taken by the management, which resulted in a series of losses; and the scheme ended in liquidation. Mr. Greening states that "the Distribution Societies have as yet been much more successful than the Production Societies;" but he hopes "to see the latter crown the edifice by making workers everywhere no longer servants, but co-partners with capital."

白话
这些实验在一定程度上因矿工的贪婪或懒惰而结束，他们一度破坏了钢铁业的繁荣。格林宁公司满怀热情开始，对工人来说结果很成功，许多人表现出善意甚至奉献精神。但不幸的是，管理层承接的合同导致一系列亏损，计划最终以清算告终。格林宁先生说，分配合作社迄今比生产合作社成功得多；但他希望后者能锦上添花，让各地工人不再是资本的仆人，而是资本的合伙人。
上下文
格林宁公司是曼彻斯特的钢铁企业，其合作实验因经营亏损而失败。
今日一问
如果工人成为合伙人，管理层的决策风险该由谁承担？
