Liberal democracy is in crisis around the world, unable to address
pressing problems such as climate change. There is, however,
another path—cooperation democracy. From consumer co-ops to
credit unions, worker cooperatives to insurance mutuals, nonprofits
to mutual aid, countless examples prove that people working
together can extend the ideals of participatory democracy and
sustainability into every aspect of their lives. These forms of
cooperation do not depend on electoral politics. Instead, they
harness the longstanding practices and values of cooperatives:
self-determination, democratic participation, equity, solidarity,
and respect for the environment. Bernard E. Harcourt develops a
transformative theory and practice that builds on worldwide models
of successful cooperation. He identifies the most promising forms
of cooperative initiatives and then distills their lessons into an
integrated framework: Coöperism. This is a political theory
grounded on recognition of our interdependence. It is an economic
theory that can ensure equitable distribution of wealth. Finally,
it is a social theory that replaces the punishment paradigm with a
cooperation paradigm. A creative work of normative critical theory,
Cooperation provides a positive vision for addressing our most
urgent challenges today. Harcourt shows that by drawing on the core
values of cooperation and the power of people working together, a
new world of cooperation democracy is within our grasp.
