The paper explains that there are four different "constituencies" of a firm: suppliers, customers, investors and workers. A particular firm is usually only owned by a a subset of these constituencies. Common examples of firms are investor-owned corporations; and three types of cooperatives: supplier/customer/worker cooperative.

The central claim of the paper is that whichever constituency does not own the firm, will have to have a contractual relation with the firm. And these relations can often be exploitative. So, for example, worker cooperatives can exploit suppliers as much as corporations.
