Just sent off the final chapter of #cooperative_enterprise_and_Market_Economy by @luisrazeto to GEO's constant web gardener @GuerillaOntologist This is an odd book. Its central proposition – that the market is to be “perfected” – looks like some kind of Chicago School fantasy but turns out to be a call for radical social, economic, political and cultural transformation. What appears to be a proof of the economic viability of the cooperative enterprise, turns out to be an argument for the potential of cooperativism, as part of a larger movement of movements, to constitute a force capable of overcoming the crisis of the State by re-founding political democracy on new, distributed and democratic foundations. #cooperatives #cooperative_economics #gramsci
