This is a collective labor of earned merit, vision and determination by 38 contributors in six countries, and three continents.
They’re proving how solidarity, innovation, and conviction forge sustaining local and global social economy practice on behalf of the greater common good. Seven of the chapter contributors include current or former Mondragon members.
Both co-editors were affiliated with Mondragon, one as an international delegate for two decades and the other who did her doctoral thesis in the company of three of the five Ulgor (Mondragon’s first cooperative) co-founders.
