Re: Co-operatives (4.00 / 3)

As you know, I am fascinated by ICA - thanks to you! I would be great to introduce them to ET - they'd get a lot of feedback and encouragement.

If Jerome hasn't registered a new domain yet - then a .coop would be a good gesture. (Available via the ICA site)

I think if we could put ChrisCook's ideas on Open Capital together with coops, and then use the web to connect people together. it would be possible to build empowering organizations with very low transaction costs.

Re: Co-operatives (4.00 / 2)

I believe that the optimal enterprise model could well consist of an LLP/LLC "Coop of Coops" ie to combine in an LLP "Wrapper" a John Lewis-style employee coop with a Retail Coop owned by its customers - and with any necessary investment coming from these stakeholders as "Capital Partners" through simply "buying revenues forward".

Re: Co-operatives (none / 1)

Yes, it is this *'Buying Revenues Forward''' that really changes the game,
IMO.
