This marginalization shows in business, municipal and legal discussions, and curricula, where cooperative structures are rarely mentioned, let alone presented as viable options.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003eCooperatives at Work\u003c\/em\u003e presents a range of success stories in employee ownership and worker owned-and-governed cooperatives. The authors further show how such firms embody important and highly contested ideals of democracy, shared equity, and social transformation. Throughout this volume, the authors present a range of practical lessons, strategies, and resources based on their pioneering, international research.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis latest volume in \u003cem\u003eThe Future of Work\u003c\/em\u003e series has a strong ethical stream, consistent with yearnings for more inspired forms of business revealed in many public opinion polls. The book is future-oriented, using contemporary as well as historical examples to teach lessons that are not necessarily time-bound. It is essential for anyone seeking a window onto the future of cooperative entrepreneurial practice and grassroots democracy.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeorge Cheney\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor Emeritus of Communication, University of Colorado, USA, and an independent consultant\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMatt Noyes\u003c\/strong\u003e is a solidarity economy educator and organizer, Colorado Springs, USA\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eEmi Do\u003c\/strong\u003e is food justice advocate, cooperative educator and organizer, Vancouver, Canada\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMarcelo Vieta\u003c\/strong\u003e is Associate Professor in the Adult Education and Community Development Program at the Ontario Institute for Studies in Education, University of Toronto, Canada\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJoseba Azkarraga\u003c\/strong\u003e is Professor of Sociology, University of the Basque Country, Bilbao, Basque Country, Spain\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCharlie Michel\u003c\/strong\u003e is Regional Food Systems Program Coordinator for Mission West Community Development Partners, Ronan, Montana, USA\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 288\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 0.6 x 7.7 x 5.1 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e January 25, 2023\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52485314740531,"sku":"9781838678289","price":42.28,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/2yBzLRCmSX9781838678289.webp?v=1759802107","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/cooperatives-at-work-paperback","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
