If co-ops are inherently more productive, then why have the MBAs not turned all companies into co-ops? Clearly, everyone would make more money if it were true.

The answer is rather simple. In a Co-Op situation the profits generated are shared out amongst the workers, in a traditional corporate setting the profits are split up amongst management. Therefore it is not in the interests of Mr. MBA to have a co-op as he'd get a smaller slice of the pie because he has to split it with the plebs.
