The financial crisis is destroying wealth but is also a remarkable
opportunity to uncover the ways by which debt can be used to
regulate the economic system. This book uses four case studies of
cooperatives to give an in-depth analysis on how they have braved
the crisis and continued to generate wealth.
As the world of work and jobs is more uncertain than ever because
of various trends impacting it, including the rise of robotics and
the gig economy, Cooperatives and the World of Work furthers the
debate on the future of work, sustainable development, and the
social and solidarity economy of which cooperatives are a
fundamental component. Throughout the book, the authors, who are
experts in their respective fields, do not limit themselves to
praising the advantages of the cooperative model. Rather, they
challenge the narrow understanding of cooperatives as a mere
business model and raise debate on the more fundamental role that
cooperatives play in responding to social changes and in changing
society itself. The book is unique in tracing the historical
connection between cooperatives and the world of work since the end
of the First World War and the recent shifts and restructuring in
enterprise and the workplace. It presents a redefinition of the
very concept of work, focusing on organizational innovation. This
book is published in recognition of 100 years of the International
Labour Organization, and gathers together research from leading
experts who were brought together at an event co-hosted by the
International Co-operative Alliance (ICA) and the International
Labour Organization (ILO).
