Publisher's Synopsis
Scientists are pointing to increasingly dangerous levels of climate change and habitat destruction, Europe and America are facing their worst economic problems for a generation, and social movements around the world are calling for sweeping reforms. Do co-operatives offer an alternative model of social organisation which could address some of these key issues? Or do they simply offer another way of organising businesses within a mainly capitalist economy? This book brings together 14 different perspectives on one of the most promising alternative economic models available.
