Co-operative model could be the answer to economic woes
Beyond the ethics, co-operatives have weathered the recession well, created large number of employment and business opportunities. Why are they so successful, when many others in the market place have failed? The answer is simple. No need for a PhD from a fancy university! All they do, they do it for the common good: “Instead of being owned by shareholders, who extract a slice of the profits, all these co-operatives hand over any gains they make to their customers and staff.”
It is time the market fundamentalists, free trade zealots, and private enterprise to take note and follow the good example.
The United Nations has designated 2012 as the International Year of Co-operatives- Social Media: Good or Bad for the Common Good?
