The Italien industrial coop cited create lots of patents (much more than the rest of Italy).

As for "advanced technology" most of it is produced by cooperating scientists on public funding anyway :).

I don't know of case studies between cooperative and non cooperative enterprises relative performance.

There are a lot of discussions in the media about "finding the right model", French model, EU model, USA model, but none of these discussion seem to even mention cooperatives to the public attention.

Italy mentions coop in its constitution IIRC, Naomi Klein movie The Take shows workers taking back factories as coop in Argentina, Venezuela government is currently pushing to organize a massive coop movement.

If they spoke about finding the right model for the situation of the country they might be talking some sense. Unfortunately they seem to think there is one right model for everyone.

guaranteed to evoke a violent reaction from police is to challenge their right to "define the situation." --- David Graeber citing Marc Cooper
