In The Co-operative Exchange, we show the price in bitcoin (BTC) for educational purposes. This is in line with our vision, ‘Co-operatives for collective freedom, bitcoin for individual liberty.’ We believe that co-operation is the soundest form of human enterprise. We believe that bitcoin is sound money, money that cannot be corrupted nor controlled by anyone. We want to advance the cooperative circular economy and we agitate for innovation to fuel that, e.g. Starlink-Polaris for Cooperatives Initiative, CoopEnergy (100% Renewable), CoopShop and other crazy co-op things.

Details: Product Description Shows how the creation of an idealized image of the Mondragon cooperatives is part of a new global ideology that promotes cooperative labor-management relations in order to discredit labor unions and working-class organizations. Review “The topic―class consciousness, struggle, and cooperativism―is significant for several reasons. First, Mondragón cooperatives have been the object of much attention by social scientists, but previous work has viewed them from managers’, not workers’ perspectives. By using the perspective of workers, Kasmir not only shows that there is conflict between managers and workers in the cooperatives, but that workers in cooperatives and in private factories have not always acted together. This perspective also enables her to draw out very effectively the links between managers, the ideology of cooperativism, and Basque nationalist politics. "Second, the analysis of cooperatives and class in Mondragon has important broader implications about contemporary class patterns. By looking at the ideology of cooperativism in its larger political and social context at different times, Kasmir raises important questions for class analysis elsewhere." -- Frances Rothstein, Towson State University From the Back Cover This is the first critical account of the internationally renowned Mondragon cooperatives of the Basque region of Spain. The Mondragon cooperatives are seen as the leading alternative model to standard industrial organization; they are considered to be the most successful example of democratic decision making and worker ownership.
