I've been poking around the cooperative space. They would seem to be a way to keep more wealth in the hands of the labor that creates it. They seem like they could develop like an business/economic version of what the GPL was in software - a way to form a community space using the rules of an unfriendly/indifferent system itself to maintain the space. But I think they need some better supporting spark. It feels to me like coop organizations are at a pre-growth period right now and need better ways to capitalize, coordinate, and compensate organizations.
