Mondragón cooperatives  

Definition

  • The Mondragón Cooperatives were long a source of inspiration for theorists and activists searching for a more just economy based on a democratic alternative to the traditional, exploitative capitalist enterprise. In spite of their huge success, even the Mondragón cooperatives' staunchest defenders have been compelled to admit that their status as a model has significantly diminished in the past 2 decades as a result of the expansion in the network of elements incompatible with the cooperative ethos.
