About this product
Product Information
Cooperatives the world over are successfully developing alternative models of decision-making, employment and operation without the existence of managers, executives and hierarchies. Through case studies spanning the US, Latin America and Europe, including valuable new work on the previously neglected cooperative movement in Cuba, Peter Ranis explores how cooperatives have evolved in response to the economic crisis. Going further yet, Ranis makes the novel argument that the constitutionally enshrined principle of 'eminent domain' can in fact be harnessed to create and defend worker cooperatives. Combining the work of key radical theorists, including Marx, Gramsci and Luxemburg, with that of contemporary political economists, such as Block, Piketty and Stiglitz, Cooperatives Confront Capitalism provides what is perhaps the most far-reaching analysis yet of the ideas, achievements and wider historical context of the cooperative movement.

The book has really short stories, and important words and phrases are boldfaced. After the story, there's a short recap and a translation of the boldfaced words, followed by a questionnaire where you choose the correct answer. The concept is really good; the stories are written the way everyday italians speak (i.e. mio padre entra in camera mia, vs. mio padre entra nella mia camera, which is how you would learn it in Duolingo, both correct but here you learn to think and speak like a native.)
