MIT and Worker Cooperatives

In the US, the Community Lab at MIT recently published papers based on worker cooperatives

Sustainable Economic Democracy: Worker Cooperatives for the 21st Century http://colabradio.mit.edu/wp-content/uploads/2010/10/Coops-CoLabOct2010.pdf

based on this PhD by Bronx resident, Nick Iuviene http://colabradio.mit.edu/?tag=nick-iuviene

MIT Community Innovators Lab http://web.mit.edu/colab/resources/index.html http://colabradio.mit.edu/ http://web.mit.edu/colab/ Email: colab-info@mit.edu the MIT study group's Sustainable Economic Democracy document looks at Mondragon and a Cleveland initiative called the Evergreen Cooperative. Evergreen and Mondragon are quite different, many coop developers dont actually think the Evergreen project is a coop, as one of the principles is independence, Evergreen is run by the city and foundations, but does have many features of Mondragon. http://colabradio.mit.edu/tag/evergreen-cooperatives/

The map of the English version is not working yet, so please check the map in Spanish: http://pangeasostenible.org/mapa/ and more info about the project, in English, here: http://en.pangeasostenible.org/who-we-are/ . Please dont share the website with anybody

Each point in the map will have an article about the initiative. I have direct contacts with each one of them, and much more others. I interviewed more than 50 people (local communities leaders, social entrepreneurs, NGO specialist, etc) and gathered about 500 contacts.

If you have time, check also some examples of the articles I am writing, for now only in Spanish but soon in English, to have an idea of my work: http://pangeasostenible.org/2012/01/prainha-do-canto-verde-ceara-brasil/ , http://pangeasostenible.org/2012/01/taller-de-estudios-para-la-mejora-del-habitat-filadelfia-paraguay/ , http://pangeasostenible.org/2012/01/la-base-buenos-aires-argentina/ . As you will see, this is a collaborative project: social entrepreneurs and local communities can send articles about their own initiatives and we have correspondents ready to work (once the website is done) in several Latin American cities.

We are also cooperating with Socioeco.org to share content.
