That's what makes cooperation an important aspect of these types of ideologies. In Humanizing The Economy[0], the author describes successful cooperative movements from around the world that are based on localized democratic principles but leverage large-scale cooperation to organize at scale.

- specialist 8y agoThank you for this tip. I'm eager to read this book. While I'm a big fan of Richard D Wolff's efforts, he fails to examine the governance models of co-ops. What works, what doesn't. Models of incorporation. Case studies. Governance is key. -- Some years ago, I joined a non-profit OSS team, part of the Kuali Consortium, with the primary intent to see how it worked first hand. Sadly, it didn't. Even more sadly, I still have little clue what could work, what to advocate. I am inspired by Pieter Hintjens' Social Architecture as model for successful OSS: http://hintjens.com/books http://hintjens.com/books But have yet to practice it myself. -- Sorry, I always conflate ideas. My end goal is to figure out how to make useful, meaningful software while still paying my mortgage and feeding my family.
- bloudermilk 8y agoAgree with your critique of Wolff. I’m on a similar quest and have some resources you might find interesting. Feel free to reach out on gmail–same handle.
