Why not both? :)
- dv_dt 8y agoOh, I'm not excluding both at all, but in the previous posters warehouse example, it's difficult for a group of laborers, even if already supremely knowledgeable about the warehouse business, to get the capital to buy a warehouse and start their own coop. I've been thinking in the background of how one might setup a process for that kind of "coop lending/setup/tech" service. One thing I've read articles about is how unions actually control a lot of pension type funding, and that either legal restrictions, or even conventional financial management practices shut out that money from use as a community lending source. Added: There are other sources of capital, but unions in theory and with some historical examples, have something of a common interest, and that kind of funding/lending has happened in the past.
