How the largest social movement in history is making the world a better place.At the close of the twentieth century, corporate capitalism extended its reach over the globe. While its defenders argue that globalization is the only way forward for modern, democratic societies, the spread of this system is failing to meet even the most basic needs of billions of individuals around the world. Moreover, the entrenchment of this free market system is undermining the foundations of healthy societies, caring communities, and personal wellbeing.Humanizing the Economy shows how cooperative models for economic and social development can create a more equitable, just, and humane future. With over 800 million members in 85 countries and a long history linking economic to social values, the cooperative movement is the most powerful grassroots movement in the world. Its future as an alternative to corporate capitalism is explored through a wide range of realworld examples including: Emilia Romagna's cooperative economy of in Northern Italy Argentina's recovered factory movement Japan's consumer and health cooperativesHighlighting the hopes and struggles of everyday people seeking to make their world a better place, Humanizing the Economy is essential reading for anyone who cares about the reform of economics, globalization, and social justice.John Restakis has been active in the coop movement for 15 years. He is the Executive Director of the BC Cooperative Association and has been a consultant for coop development projects in Africa and Asia. A pioneering researcher on cooperative economies, he writes and lectures on economic democracy and the role of cooperatives in humanizing economies.
