Strengthening the Cooperative Community - Paperback

Strengthening the Cooperative Community by E.G. Nadeau, Ph.D.

How can we reduce inequality, combat global warming, and become more democratic?

Insights into these pressing questions are addressed by an author who has 50 years of experience researching, developing, teaching, and writing about cooperative businesses. E.G. Nadeau, Ph.D., in his fourth book, "Strengthening the Cooperative Community," believes the 1 billion leaders and members of these member-owned and democratically controlled businesses throughout the world can be part of the solution to creating a better, fairer society.

The author also proposes 16 specific, practical recommendations on how co-ops can become an even more dynamic force for positive change that benefits people and the environment in the 21^st century.

Nadeau graduated magna cum laude from Harvard University and earned his Ph.D. in sociology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. He describes how his co-op career began as a Peace Corps volunteer in Senegal, followed by the lessons he learned while researching and developing dozens of cooperative projects in North America, Europe, Africa, and Asia.

Readers will discover that we, especially when acting cooperatively with others, really CAN make a difference.Strengthening the Cooperative Community can be ordered for $10 through local bookstores and Amazon, or downloaded from https: //thecooperativesociety.org
