http://www.nceo.org/library/esops.html

This link to the National Center for Employee Ownership contains some good info about ESOP's, how and why they're used. Did you know that over 11,000 US corporations use ESOP's in some form, usually to arrange for departing owners and/or to reward employees? It also includes links to much more detailed on-line articles, books, and so forth.
