UNA PEQUENA CIUDAD : EN EL CORAZON DE FRANCIA. a small town in central France, which has since been renamed EL PUEBLECITO FUE RE-NOMBRADO: EN HONOR A EL, SU HIJO MAS : DISTINGUIDO... after him to honor its most famous son.

Y LOS PADRES JESUITAS, 1.NO DESCANSARIAN 2.POR AMOR AL NINO... 3.HASTA LOGRARLO... Descartes was a good student, although it is thought that he might have been sickly, CUAL ERA EL CURRICULUM & HORARIO EDUCATIVO, SIN ELECTRICIDAD, IMAGINESE? since he didn’t have to abide by the school’s 1.

PERO EN LA UNIVERSIDAD DE: POITIERS. So did spending the next four years earning a baccalaureate in law at the University of Poitiers. ALGUNOS ACADEMICOS & BIOGRAFOS: SENALAN QUE PROBABLEMENTE, TUVO PROBLEMAS NERVIOSOS (PSIQUIATRICOS) EN SUS ANOS DE: ESTUDIANTE UNIVERSITARIO. Some scholars speculate that he may have had a nervous breakdown during this time. PERO COMO DICE LA DOCTORA PAULA KROEBER: DESCASTER NACIO... CON UN CEREBRO COMPLEJO, DE SELVA TROPICAL...

ERA UN HOMBRE JOVEN, igual a todos los jovenes del mundo nacidos en 1596, SOLO QUE ESTE TENIA: 4 TITULOS UNIVERSITARIOS. 4. ESPECIALIDADES... Descartes later added theology and medicine to his studies. But he eschewed all this, “resolving to seek no knowledge other than that of which could be found in myself or else in the great book of the world,” 4 CUATRO ESPECIALIDADES CIENTIFICAS, NO A LOS 12 NI A LOS 20 ANOS DE EDAD: 1.

RENE DESCARTES INICIA AL FINALIZAR LA CARRERA EN LA: UNIVERSIDAD DE POITIERS... 12 MESES ANTES DE GRADUARSE... year after graduating from Poitiers, HACIA DONDE SE; 1. DIRIGIO SU PENSAMIENTO 2.Y SU:PROYECTO DE INVESTIGACION LONGITUDINAL? EN TRES LINEAS DE INVESTIGACION: Descartes credited a series of three very powerful dreams or visions with determining the course of his study for the rest of his life. 1. FUNDAR LA FILOSOFIA MODERNA O CONTEMPORANEA. Becoming the Father of Modern Philosophy. Descartes is considered by many to be the father of modern philosophy, 1.BECAUSE HIS IDEAS... because his ideas 2.DEPARTED WIDELY 2.1.FROM CURRENT 2.2.UNDERSTANDING 2.3.IN THE EARLY: 17 TH CENTURY. departed widely from current understanding in the early 17th century, 3. WHICH WAS MORE : FEELING-BASED. which was more feeling-based. While elements of his philosophy weren’t completely new, HIS APPROACH TO THEM WAS. his approach to them was. Descartes believed in basically: 1. clearing everything off the table, 2.all preconceived and 3. inherited notions, 4.and starting fresh, 5.putting back one by one THE THINGS THAT WERE CERTAIN the things that were certain, which for him began with the statement “I exist.” From this sprang his most famous quote: “I think; therefore I am.” Since Descartes believed that all truths WERE ULTIMATELY LINKED... were ultimately linked, he sought to UNCOVER... THE MEANING OR THE NATURAL WORLD uncover the meaning of the natural world WITH A RATIONAL 1. THROUGH SCIENCE. 2. MATHEMATICS. with a rational approach, through science and mathematics—in some ways 1.AND EXTENSION OF THE APPROACH an extension of the approach 2. SIR FRANCIS BACON Sir Francis Bacon had asserted in England A FEW DECADES PRIOR. a few decades prior. In addition to Discourse on the Method, Descartes also published: 1. MEDITATIONS ON FIRST PHILOSOPHY. 2. PRINCIPLES OF PHILOSOPHY. Meditations on First Philosophy and Principles of Philosophy, among other treatises. Although philosophy is largely where the 20th century deposited Descartes—each century has focused on different aspects of his work— HIS: 1. INVESTIGATIONS. 2. IN THEORETICAL : PHYSICS. LED MANY SCHOLARS TO CONSIDER HIM A : 1. MATHEMATICIAN. 2. FIRST. his investigations in theoretical physics led many scholars to consider him a mathematician first. HE INTRODUCED: 1. CARTESIAN GEOMETRY. He introduced Cartesian geometry, WHICH INCORPORATES: 1. ALGEBRA. 2. THROGH HIS LAWS OF : REFRACTION. which incorporates algebra; through his laws of refraction, 2. HE DEVELOPED AND: EMPIRICAL UNDERSTANDING OF RAINBOWS. he developed an empirical understanding of rainbows; 3. HE PROPOSED A: NATURALISTIC ACCOUNT OF THE FORMATION OF SOLAR SYSTEM. and he proposed a naturalistic account of the formation of the solar system, although he felt he had to suppress much of that due to Galileo’s fate at the hands of the Inquisition. His concern wasn’t misplaced— POPE ALEXANDER VII LATER ADDED DESCARTES WORKS TO THE : INDEX OF PROHIBITED BOOKS. Pope Alexander VII later added Descartes’ works to the Index of Prohibited Books. Later Life, Death and Legacy. DESCARTES: NEVER MARRIED.... Descartes never married, BUT HE DID HAVE A : DAUGHTER, FRANCINE... but he did have a daughter, Francine, born in the Netherlands in 1635. HE HAD MOVE -CENTRAL AT NORTH EUROPE- TRAVELING IN 1628, AT: NETHERLANDS. IN 1628He had moved to that country in 1628 because life in FRANCE WAS TOO BUSTLING FOR HIM TO CONCENTRATE ON HIS WORK France was too bustling for him to concentrate on his work, and Francine’s mother was a maid in the home where he was staying. HE HAD PLANNED TO HAVE THE : LITTLE GIRL EDUCATED... He had planned to have the little girl educated IN FRANCE... in France, having arranged for her to live WITH RELATIVES... with relatives, BUT SHE DIED OF A FEVER AT AGE 5.... but she died of a fever at age 5. 1.Descartes lived in the Netherlands FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS... 2.BUT DIED IN : STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN. for more than 20 years but died in Stockholm, Sweden, on February 11, 1650. He had moved there less than a year before, AT THE REQUEST OF QUEEN: CHIRSTINA at the request of Queen Christina, TO BE HER PHILOSOPHY TUTOR. to be her philosophy tutor. The fragile health indicated in his early life persisted. HABITS. 1.SPEND MORNING IN BED. He habitually spent mornings in bed, 2. WHERE HE CONTIUED TO HONOR HIS: DREAM LIFE. where he continued to honor his dream life, incorporating 1.IT INTO WAKING METHODOLOGIES it into his waking methodologies 2.IN CONCIOUS MEDITATION... in conscious meditation, 1.BUT THE QUEEN 'S INSISTENCE 2.ON 5 AM LESSONS... but the queen’s insistence on 5 am lessons 3. LED TO A BOUT OF PNEUMONIA led to a bout of pneumonia 4. FROM WHICH HE COULD NOT: RECOVER from which he could not recover. HE WAS 53 YEARS OLD.... He was 53. Sweden was a PROTESTANT COUNTRY. Protestant country, SO DESCARTES A CATHOLIC so Descartes, a Catholic, was buried in a graveyard primarily for unbaptized babies. Later, his remains were taken to the ABBEY OF SAINT-GERMAN-DE-PRES abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, THE OLDEST CHURCH OF PARIS. the oldest church in Paris. They were moved during the French Revolution, and were put back later —although urban legend has it that only his heart is there and the rest IS BURIED IN THE PANTHEON. is buried in the Panthéon. Descartes’ approach of combining mathematics and logic with philosophy to explain the physical world turned metaphysical when confronted with questions of theology; it led him to a contemplation of the nature of existence and the mind-body duality, identifying the point of contact for the body with the soul at the pineal gland. It also led him to define the idea of dualism: matter meeting non-matter. Because his previous philosophical system had given man the tools to define knowledge of what is true, this concept led to controversy. Fortunately, Descartes himself had also invented methodological skepticism, OR CARTESIAN DOUBT or Cartesian doubt, thus making philosophers of us all. Fact Check We strive for accuracy and fairness.

Research published by the Worldwatch Institute found that in 2012 approximately one billion people in 96 countries had become members of at least one cooperative.[2] The turnover of the largest three hundred cooperatives in the world reached $2.2 trillion.[3]. ------- Cooperative businesses are TIPICAMENTE MAS ECONOMICAMENTE: RESILENTES... typically more economically resilient than many other forms of enterprise, with twice the number of co-operatives (80%) surviving their first five years compared with other business ownership models (41%).[4] . Cooperatives frequently have social goals which they aim to accomplish by investing a proportion of trading profits back into their communities. As an example of this, in 2013, retail co-operatives in the UK invested 6.9% of their pre-tax profits in the communities in which they trade as compared with 2.4% for other rival supermarkets.[5].

Origins and history Main article: History of the cooperative movement Cooperation dates back as far as human beings have been organizing for mutual benefits. DESDE LAS TRIBUS...

Pre-industrial Europe is home to the first cooperatives from an industrial context.[7] The roots of the cooperative movement can be traced to multiple influences and extend worldwide. In the English-speaking world, POST-FEUDAL FORMS OF COOPERATION: 1.BETWEEN WORKERS. 2. AND OWNERS. post-feudal forms of cooperation between workers and owners that are expressed today as "profit-sharing" and "surplus sharing" arrangements, existed as far back as 1795.[8] THE KEY IDEOLOGICAL INFLUENCE... The key ideological influence on the Anglosphere branch of the cooperative movement, however, was a rejection of the charity principles that UNDERPINNED WELFARE REFORMS WHEN THE BRITISH underpinned welfare reforms when the BRITISH GOVERNMENT: RADICALLY British government radically REVISED THE POOR LAWS (1834). revised its Poor Laws in 1834. AS BOTH: 1. THE STATE. 2. CHURCH INSTITUTIONS. As both state and church institutions began to routinely distinguish between the 'deserving' and 'undeserving' poor, a movement of friendly societies grew throughout the British Empire based on the PRINCIPLE OF MUTUALLY: COMMITTED principle of mutuality, committed TO SELF- HELP.. to self-help in the welfare of working people.[citation needed] ROBERT OWEN AS PIONEER (1771-1858). Robert Owen (1771–1858) was a social reformer and a pioneer OF THE COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT. of the cooperative movement. In 1761, the Fenwick Weavers' Society was formed in Fenwick, East Ayrshire, Scotland to sell discounted oatmeal to local workers.[9] Its services expanded to INCLUDE: 1. ASSISTANCE. 2. SAVINGS. 3. LOANS. 4. EMIGRATION. 5. EDUCATION. include assistance with savings and loans, emigration and education. In 1810, Welsh social reformer Robert Owen, from Newtown in mid-Wales, and his partners purchased New Lanark mill from Owen's father-in-law David Dale and proceeded to introduce better labour standards including discounted retail shops where profits were passed on to his employees. Owen left New Lanark to pursue other forms of cooperative organization and develop coop ideas through writing and lecture. COOPERATIVES COMMUNITIES. Cooperative communities were set up in Glasgow, Indiana and Hampshire, although ultimately unsuccessful. --- FIRST COOPERATIVE: NEWSPAPER...(1828) ---- WILLIAM KING, THE NEWSPAPER: THE COOPERATOR. In 1828, William King set up a newspaper, The Cooperator, to promote Owen's thinking, having already set up a cooperative store in Brighton.[10][11]. ------ THE ROCHDALE SOCIETY OF EQUITABLE PIONEERS (RCEP) FOUNDED IN 1844... ---------- The Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers, (RCEP) founded in 1844, is usually considered the first successful cooperative enterprise, used as a model for modern coops, following the 'Rochdale Principles'. A group of 28 weavers and other artisans in Rochdale, England set up the society to open their own store selling food items they could not otherwise afford. Within ten years there were over a thousand cooperative societies in the United Kingdom.[citation needed] Spolok Gazdovský founded in 1845 by Samuel Jurkovič, was the first cooperative in Europe.[12] Other events such as the founding of a friendly society by the Tolpuddle Martyrs in 1832 were key occasions in the creation of organized labor and consumer movements.[13] Friendly Societies established forums through which one member, one vote was practiced in organisation decision-making. The principles challenged the idea that a person should be an owner of property before being granted a political voice. Throughout the second half of the nineteenth century (and then repeatedly every twenty years or so) there was a surge in the number of cooperative organisations, both in commercial practice and civil society, operating to advance democracy and universal suffrage as a political principle.[14] Friendly Societies and consumer cooperatives became the dominant form of organization amongst working people in Anglosphere industrial societies prior to the rise of trade unions and industrial factories. Weinbren reports that by the end of the 19th century, over 80% of British working age men and 90% of Australian working age men were members of one or more Friendly Society.[15] From the mid-nineteenth century, mutual organisations embraced these ideas in economic enterprises, firstly amongst tradespeople, and later in cooperative stores, educational institutes, financial institutions and industrial enterprises. The common thread (enacted in different ways, and subject to the constraints of various systems of national law) is the principle that an enterprise or association should be owned and controlled by the people it serves, and share any surpluses on the basis of each member's cooperative contribution (as a producer, labourer or consumer) rather than their capacity to invest financial capital.[16] The International Co-operative Alliance was the first international association formed (1895) by the cooperative movement.[citation needed] It includes the World Council of Credit Unions. A second organization formed later in Germany: the International Raiffeisen Union. In the United States, the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA CLUSA; the abbreviation of the organization retains the initials of its former name, Cooperative League of the USA) serves as the sector's oldest national membership association. It is dedicated to ensuring that cooperative businesses have the same opportunities as other businesses operating in the country and that consumers have access to cooperatives in the marketplace. In 1945 Artturi Ilmari Virtanen received Nobel prize for chemistry for AIV silage which improved milk production and a method of preserving butter, the AIV salt, which led to increased Finnish butter exports. He had started his career in chemistry in Valio, a cooperative of dairy farmers in which he headed the research department for 50 years and where all his major inventions were first put to practice. Cooperative banks were first to adopt online banking. Stanford Federal Credit Union was the first financial institution to offer online internet banking services to all of its members in October 1994.[17] In 1996 OP Financial Group, also a cooperative bank, became the second online bank in the world and the first in Europe.[18] By 2004 a new association focused on worker co-ops was founded, the United States Federation of Worker Cooperatives. The cooperative movement has been fueled globally by ideas of economic democracy. Economic democracy is a socioeconomic philosophy that suggests an expansion of decision-making power from a small minority of corporate shareholders to a larger majority of public stakeholders. There are many different approaches to thinking about and building economic democracy. Anarchists are committed to libertarian socialism and have focused on local organization, including locally managed cooperatives, linked through confederations of unions, cooperatives and communities. Marxists, who as socialists have likewise held and worked for the goal of democratizing productive and reproductive relationships, often placed a greater strategic emphasis on confronting the larger scales of human organization. As they viewed the capitalist class to be politically, militarily and culturally mobilized for the purpose of maintaining an exploitable working class, they fought in the early 20th century to appropriate from the capitalist class the society's collective political capacity in the form of the state, either through democratic socialism, or through what came to be known as Leninism. Though they regard the state as an unnecessarily oppressive institution, Marxists considered appropriating national and international-scale capitalist institutions and resources (such as the state) to be an important first pillar in creating conditions favorable to solidaristic economies.[19][20] With the declining influence of the USSR after the 1960s, socialist strategies pluralized, though economic democratizers have not as yet established a fundamental challenge to the hegemony of global neoliberal capitalism. Meaning Identity Co-op principles and values Cooperative principles are the seven guidelines by which coops put their values into practice, often called the seven Rochdale Principles:[21] Voluntary and open membership Democratic member control Economic participation by members Autonomy and independence Education, training and information Cooperation among cooperatives Concern for community Cooperatives' values, in the tradition of its founders, are based on "self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity." Co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others. Co-op Marque and domain Since 2002, ICA cooperatives and WOCCU credit unions could be distinguished by use of a .coop domain. In 2014, ICA introduced the Global Cooperative Marque[22] for use by ICA's[23] Cooperative members and by WOCCU's Credit Union members so they can be further identified[24] by their coop ethical consumerism label. The marque is used today by thousands of cooperatives in more than a hundred countries.[25] The .coop domain and Co-operative Marque were designed as a new symbol of the global cooperative movement and its collective identity in the digital age. The Co-operative Marque and domain is reserved just for co-operatives, credit unions and organisations that support co-operatives; is distinguished by its ethical badge that subscribes to the seven ICA Cooperative Principles and Co-op Values. Co-ops can be identified on the Internet through the use of the .coop suffix of internet addresses. Organizations using .coop domain names must adhere to the basic co-op values. Cooperatives as legal entities A cooperative is a legal entity owned and democratically controlled by its members. Members often have a close association with the enterprise as producers or consumers of its products or services, or as its employees.[26] The legal entities have a range of social characteristics. Membership is open, meaning that anyone who satisfies certain non-discriminatory conditions may join. Economic benefits are distributed proportionally to each member's level of participation in the cooperative, for instance, by a dividend on sales or purchases, rather than according to capital invested.[27] Cooperatives may be classified as either worker, consumer, producer, purchasing or housing cooperatives.[28] They are distinguished from other forms of incorporation in that profit-making or economic stability are balanced by the interests of the community.[27] There are specific forms of incorporation for cooperatives in some countries, e.g. Finland[29] and Australia.[30] Cooperatives may take the form of companies limited by shares or by guarantee, partnerships or unincorporated associations. In the UK they may also use the industrial and provident society structure. In the US, cooperatives are often organized as non-capital stock corporations under state-specific cooperative laws. Cooperatives often share their earnings with the membership as a dividends, which are divided among the members according to their participation in the enterprise, such as patronage, instead of according to the value of their capital shareholdings (as is done by a joint stock company). Economic stability Main article: Economic stability Capital and the Debt Trap reports that "cooperatives tend to have a longer life than other types of enterprise, and thus a higher level of entrepreneurial sustainability". This resilience has been attributed to how cooperatives share risks and rewards between members, how they harness the ideas of many and how members have a tangible ownership stake in the business. Additionally, "cooperative banks build up counter-cyclical buffers that function well in case of a crisis," and are less likely to lead members and clients towards a debt trap (p. 216). This is explained by their more democratic governance that reduces perverse incentives and subsequent contributions to economic bubbles. In Europe A 2013 report by ILO concluded that cooperative banks outperformed their competitors during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. The cooperative banking sector had 20% market share of the European banking sector, but accounted for only 7 per cent of all the write-downs and losses between the third quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2011. Cooperative banks were also over-represented in lending to small and medium-sized businesses in all of the 10 countries included in the report.[31] A 2013 report published by the UK Office for National Statistics showed that in the UK the rate of survival of cooperatives after five years was 80 percent compared with only 41 percent for all other enterprises.[4] A further study found that after ten years 44 percent of cooperatives were still in operation, compared with only 20 percent for all enterprises. A 2012 report published by The European Confederation of cooperatives and worker-owned enterprises active in industry and services showed that in France and Spain, worker cooperatives and social cooperatives “have been more resilient than conventional enterprises during the economic crisis”.[32] In North America In the United States of America Main article: History of cooperatives in the United States In a 2007 study by the World Council of Credit Unions, the 5-year survival rate of cooperatives in the United States was found to be 90% in comparison to 3-5% for traditional businesses.[33] Credit unions, a type of cooperative bank, had five times lower failure rate than other banks during the financial crisis[34] and more than doubled lending to small businesses between 2008 - 2016, from $30 billion to $60 billion, while lending to small businesses overall during the same period declined by around $100 billion.[35] Public trust in credit unions stands at 60%, compared to 30% for big banks[36] and small businesses are five times less likely to be dissatisfied with a credit union than with a big bank.[37] In Canada Main article: History of cooperatives in Canada A 2010 report by the Ministry of Economic Development, Innovation and Export in Québec found that the five-year survival rate and 10-year survival rate of cooperatives in Québec to be 62% and 44% respectively compared to 35% and 20% for conventional firms.[38] Another report by the BC-Alberta Social economy Research Alliance found that the three-year survival rate of cooperatives in Alberta to be 81.5% in comparison to 48% for traditional firms.[39] Another report by the aforementioned Research Alliance found that in British Columbia, the 5-year survival rates for cooperatives between 2000 and 2010 to be 66.6% in comparison to conventional businesses that had 43% and 39% in the years 1984 and 1993 respectively[39] Types of cooperatives Co-op City in The Bronx, New York City is the largest cooperative housing development in the world, with 55,000 people.[40] The two largest supermarkets chains in Switzerland, Migros and Coop, are cooperatives. The third largest bank, Raiffeisen, is a cooperative as well. The top 300 largest cooperatives were listed in 2007 by the International Co-operative Alliance. 80% were involved in either agriculture, finance, or retail and more than half were in the United States, Italy, or France. Consumers' cooperative Main article: Consumers' cooperative A consumers' cooperative is a business owned by its customers. Members vote on major decisions and elect the board of directors from among their own number. The first of these was set up in 1844 in the North-West of England by 28 weavers who wanted to sell food at a lower price than the local shops. Retail cooperative Retail cooperatives are retailers, such as grocery stores, owned by their customers. They should not be confused with retailers' cooperatives, whose members are retailers rather than consumers. In Denmark, Singapore, Italy, and Finland the company with the largest market share in the grocery store sector is a consumer owned cooperative.[41][42][43][44] In Switzerland both the largest and the second largest retailer are consumer owned cooperatives[45]. Housing cooperative Main articles: Housing cooperative and Building cooperative A housing cooperative is a legal mechanism for ownership of housing where residents either own shares (share capital co-op) reflecting their equity in the cooperative's real estate, or have membership and occupancy rights in a not-for-profit cooperative (non-share capital co-op), and they underwrite their housing through paying subscriptions or rent. Housing cooperatives come in three basic equity structures In market-rate housing cooperatives, members may sell their shares in the cooperative whenever they like for whatever price the market will bear, much like any other residential property. Market-rate co-ops are very common in New York City. Limited equity housing cooperatives, which are often used by affordable housing developers, allow members to own some equity in their home, but limit the sale price of their membership share to that which they paid. Group equity or zero-equity housing cooperatives do not allow members to own equity in their residences and often have rental agreements well below market rates. Members of a building cooperative (in Britain known as a self-build housing cooperative) pool resources to build housing, normally using a high proportion of their own labor. When the building is finished, each member is the sole owner of a homestead, and the cooperative may be dissolved. This collective effort was at the origin of many of Britain's building societies, which however, developed into "permanent" mutual savings and loan organisations, a term which persisted in some of their names (such as the former Leeds Permanent). Nowadays such self-building may be financed using a step-by-step mortgage which is released in stages as the building is completed. The term may also refer to worker cooperatives in the building trade. Utility cooperative Main article: Utility cooperative A utility cooperative is a type of consumers' cooperative that is tasked with the delivery of a public utility such as electricity, water or telecommunications services to its members. Profits are either reinvested into infrastructure or distributed to members in the form of "patronage" or "capital credits", which are essentially dividends paid on a member's investment into the cooperative. In the United States, many cooperatives were formed to provide rural electrical and telephone service as part of the New Deal. See Rural Utilities Service. In the case of electricity, cooperatives are generally either generation and transmission (G&T) co-ops that create and send power via the transmission grid or local distribution co-ops that gather electricity from a variety of sources and send it along to homes and businesses. In Tanzania, it has been proven that the cooperative method is helpful in water distribution. When the people are involved with their own water, they care more because the quality of their work has a direct effect on the quality of their water. Credit unions, cooperative banking and co-operative insurance Main articles: Cooperative banking and Credit union The Co-operative Bank's head office in Manchester. The statue in front is of Robert Owen, a pioneer in the cooperative movement. Credit unions are cooperative financial institutions that are owned and controlled by their members. Credit unions provide the same financial services as banks but are considered not-for-profit organizations and adhere to cooperative principles. Credit unions originated in mid-19th-century Germany through the efforts of pioneers Franz Herman Schulze'Delitzsch and Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen. The concept of financial cooperatives crossed the Atlantic at the turn of the 20th century, when the caisse populaire movement was started by Alphonse Desjardins in Quebec, Canada. In 1900, from his home in Lévis, he opened North America's first credit union, marking the beginning of the Mouvement Desjardins. Eight years later, Desjardins provided guidance for the first credit union in the United States, where there are now about 7,950 active status federally insured credit unions, with almost 90 million members and more than $679 billion on deposit. Cooperative banking networks, which were nationalized in Eastern Europe, work now as real cooperative institutions. In Poland, the SKOK (Spółdzielcze Kasy Oszczędnościowo-Kredytowe) network has grown to serve over 1 million members via 13,000 branches, and is larger than the country's largest conventional bank. In Scandinavia, there is a clear distinction between mutual savings banks (Sparbank) and true credit unions (Andelsbank). The oldest cooperative banks in Europe, based on the ideas of Friedrich Raiffeisen, are joined together in the 'Urgenossen'. Worker cooperative Main article: Worker cooperative A worker cooperative or producer cooperative is a cooperative that is owned and democratically controlled by its "worker-owners". There are no outside owners in a "pure" workers' cooperative, only the workers own shares of the business, though hybrid forms exist in which consumers, community members or capitalist investors also own some shares. In practice, control by worker-owners may be exercised through individual, collective or majority ownership by the workforce, or the retention of individual, collective or majority voting rights (exercised on a one-member one-vote basis). A worker cooperative, therefore, has the characteristic that the majority of its workforce owns shares, and the majority of shares are owned by the workforce. Membership is not always compulsory for employees, but generally only employees can become members either directly (as shareholders) or indirectly through membership of a trust that owns the company. The impact of political ideology on practice constrains the development of cooperatives in different countries. In India, there is a form of workers' cooperative which insists on compulsory membership for all employees and compulsory employment for all members. That is the form of the Indian Coffee Houses. This system was advocated by the Indian communist leader A. K. Gopalan. In places like the UK, common ownership (indivisible collective ownership) was popular in the 1970s. Cooperative Societies only became legal in Britain after the passing of Slaney's Act in 1852. In 1865 there were 651 registered societies with a total membership of well over 200,000. There are now more than 400 worker cooperatives in the UK, Suma Wholefoods being the largest example with a turnover of £24 million. Business and employment cooperative Main article: Business and employment co-operative Business and employment cooperatives (BECs) are a subset of worker cooperatives that represent a new approach to providing support to the creation of new businesses. Like other business creation support schemes, BEC's enable budding entrepreneurs to experiment with their business idea while benefiting from a secure income. The innovation BECs introduce is that once the businesses are established, the entrepreneurs are not forced to leave and set up independently, but can stay and become full members of the cooperative. The micro-enterprises then combine to form one multi-activity enterprise whose members provide a mutually supportive environment for each other.[citation needed] BECs thus provide budding business people with an easy transition from inactivity to self-employment, but in a collective framework. They open up new horizons for people who have ambition but who lack the skills or confidence needed to set off entirely on their own – or who simply want to carry on an independent economic activity but within a supportive group context.[citation needed] Purchasing cooperative Main article: Purchasing cooperative A "purchasing cooperative" is a type of cooperative arrangement, often among businesses, to agree to aggregate demand to get lower prices from selected suppliers. Retailers' cooperatives are a form of purchasing cooperative. Major purchasing cooperatives include Best Western, ACE Hardware and CCA Global Partners. Agricultural service cooperatives provide various services to their individual farming members, and to agricultural production cooperatives, where production resources such as land or machinery are pooled and members farm jointly.[46] Agricultural supply cooperatives aggregate purchases, storage, and distribution of farm inputs for their members. By taking advantage of volume discounts and utilizing other economies of scale, supply cooperatives bring down members' costs. Supply cooperatives may provide seeds, fertilizers, chemicals, fuel, and farm machinery. Some supply cooperatives also operate machinery pools that provide mechanical field services (e.g., plowing, harvesting) to their members. Known examples include the cranberry-and-grapefruit cooperative Ocean Spray, collective farms in socialist states and the kibbutzim in Israel. Producer cooperative Producer cooperatives have producers as their members, and provide services involved in moving a product from the point of production to the point of consumption. Unlike worker cooperatives, they allow businesses with multiple employees to join. Agricultural marketing cooperatives operate a series of interconnected activities involving planning production, growing and harvesting, grading, packing, transport, storage, food processing, distribution and sale. Agricultural marketing cooperatives are often formed to promote specific commodities. Commercially successful agricultural marketing cooperatives include India's Amul (dairy products), which is the world's largest producer of milk and milk products, Dairy Farmers of America (dairy products) in the United States, and Malaysia's FELDA (palm oil). Producer cooperatives may also be organized by small businesses for pooling their savings and accessing capital, for acquiring supplies and services, or for marketing products and services. Producer cooperatives among urban artisans were developed in the mid-19th-century in Germany by Franz Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch, who also promoted changes to the legal system (the Prussian Genossenschaftsgesetz of 1867) that facilitated such cooperatives.[47] At about the same time, Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen developed similar cooperatives among rural people.[48] Multi-stakeholder cooperatives Multi-stakeholder cooperatives include representation from different stakeholder groups, such as both consumers and workers. Social cooperative Cooperatives traditionally combine social benefit interests with capitalistic property-right interests. Cooperatives achieve a mix of social and capital purposes by democratically governing distribution questions by and between equal but not controlling members. Democratic oversight of decisions to equitably distribute assets and other benefits means capital ownership is arranged in a way for social benefit inside the organization. External societal benefit is also encouraged by incorporating the operating-principle of cooperation between co-operatives. In the final year of the 20th century, cooperatives banded together to establish a number of social enterprise agencies which have moved to adopt the multi-stakeholder cooperative model. In the years 1994–2009 the EU and its member nations gradually revised national accounting systems to "make visible" the increasing contribution of social economy organizations.[49] Main article: Social cooperative A particularly successful form of multi-stakeholder cooperative is the Italian "social cooperative", of which some 11,000 exist.[50] "Type A" social cooperatives bring together providers and beneficiaries of a social service as members. "Type B" social cooperatives bring together permanent workers and previously unemployed people who wish to integrate into the labor market. They are legally defined as follows: no more than 80% of profits may be distributed, interest is limited to the bond rate and dissolution is altruistic (assets may not be distributed) the cooperative has legal personality and limited liability the objective is the general benefit of the community and the social integration of citizens those of type B integrate disadvantaged people into the labour market. The categories of disadvantage they target may include physical and mental disability, drug and alcohol addiction, developmental disorders and problems with the law. They do not include other factors of disadvantage such as unemployment, race, sexual orientation or abuse. type A cooperatives provide health, social or educational services various categories of stakeholder may become members, including paid employees, beneficiaries, volunteers (up to 50% of members), financial investors and public institutions. In type B cooperatives at least 30% of the members must be from the disadvantaged target groups voting is one person one vote New generation cooperative New generation cooperatives (NGCs) are an adaptation of traditional cooperative structures to modern, capital intensive industries. They are sometimes described as a hybrid between traditional co-ops and limited liability companies or public benefit corporations. They were first developed in California and spread and flourished in the US Mid-West in the 1990s.[51] They are now common in Canada where they operate primarily in agriculture and food services, where their primary purpose is to add value to primary products. For example, producing ethanol from corn, pasta from durum wheat, or gourmet cheese from goat's milk. A representative example of an operating NGC is the Fourth Estate (association), a global multi-stakeholder NGC journalism association. Other Platform cooperative Main article: Platform cooperative A platform cooperative, or platform co-op, is a cooperatively owned, democratically governed business that establishes a computing platform, and uses a protocol, website or mobile app to facilitate the sale of goods and services. Platform cooperatives are an alternative to venture capital-funded platforms insofar as they are owned and governed by those who depend on them most—workers, users, and other relevant stakeholders. Proponents of platform cooperativism claim that, by ensuring the financial and social value of a platform circulate among these participants, platform cooperatives will bring about a more equitable and fair digitally mediated economy in contrast with the extractive models of corporate intermediaries. Platform cooperatives differ from traditional cooperatives not only due to their use of digital technologies, but also by their contribution to the commons for the purpose of fostering an equitable social and economic landscape. Volunteer cooperative A volunteer cooperative is a cooperative that is run by and for a network of volunteers, for the benefit of a defined membership or the general public, to achieve some goal. Depending on the structure, it may be a collective or mutual organization, which is operated according to the principles of cooperative governance. The most basic form of volunteer-run cooperative is a voluntary association. A lodge or social club may be organized on this basis. A volunteer-run co-op is distinguished from a worker cooperative in that the latter is by definition employee-owned, whereas the volunteer cooperative is typically a non-stock corporation, volunteer-run consumer co-op or service organization, in which workers and beneficiaries jointly participate in management decisions and receive discounts on the basis of sweat equity. Federal or secondary cooperative Main article: Cooperative Federation In some cases, cooperative societies find it advantageous to form cooperative federations in which all of the members are themselves cooperatives. Historically, these have predominantly come in the form of cooperative wholesale societies, and cooperative unions. Cooperative federations are a means through which cooperative societies can fulfill the sixth Rochdale Principle, cooperation among cooperatives, with the ICA noting that "Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, regional and international structures." See also: List of Co-operative Federations Cooperative union A second common form of cooperative federation is a cooperative union, whose objective (according to Gide) is "to develop the spirit of solidarity among societies and... in a word, to exercise the functions of a government whose authority, it is needless to say, is purely moral." Co-operatives UK and the International Cooperative Alliance are examples of such arrangements. Cooperative political movements In some countries with a strong cooperative sector, such as the UK, cooperatives may find it advantageous to form political groupings to represent their interests. The British Co-operative Party, the Canadian Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and United Farmers of Alberta are prime examples of such arrangements. UK The British cooperative movement formed the Co-operative Party in the early 20th century to represent members of consumers' cooperatives in Parliament, which was the first of its kind. The Co-operative Party now has a permanent electoral pact with the Labour Party meaning someone cannot be a member if they support a party other than Labour. Plaid Cymru also run a credit union that is constituted as a co-operative, called the 'Plaid Cymru Credit Union'.[52] UK cooperatives retain a strong market share in food retail, insurance, banking, funeral services, and the travel industry in many parts of the country, although this is still significantly lower than other business models.[53] Leader of the British Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn has publicly expressed support for worker cooperatives.[54] Philippines The Cooperative NATCCO Party (Coop-NATCCO) is a party-list in the Philippines which serves as the electoral wing of the National Confederation of Cooperatives (NATCCO). Coop-NATCCO has represented the Philippine co-operative sector in the Philippine 11th Congress since 1998. Women in cooperatives Main article: Women in cooperatives Since cooperatives are based on values like self-help, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity, they can play a particularly strong role in empowering women, especially in developing countries.[55] Cooperatives allow women who might have been isolated and working individually to band together and create economies of scale as well as increase their own bargaining power in the market. In statements in advance of International Women's Day in early 2013, President of the International Cooperative Alliance, Dame Pauline Green, said, "Cooperative businesses have done so much to help women onto the ladder of economic activity. With that comes community respect, political legitimacy and influence." However, despite the supposed democratic structure of cooperatives and the values and benefits shared by members, due to gender norms on the traditional role of women, and other instilled cultural practices that sidestep attempted legal protections, women suffer a disproportionately low representation in cooperative membership around the world. Representation of women through active membership (showing up to meetings and voting), as well as in leadership and managerial positions is even lower.[56] Cooperatives in popular culture As of 2012, the number of memberships in cooperatives reached one billion,[57] and so the organizational structure and movement has seeped into popular culture. In the HBO drama television series The Wire, several drug dealers create a democratic alliance called the New Day Co-Op with the interests of cutting back on violence and increasing business. Co-opoly: The Game of Cooperatives is a popular board game played around the world that challenges players to work together to start and run a cooperative and overcome major hurdles.[58][59] See also Artist cooperative Cooperative economics Collective Collective ownership Common ownership Commune Cooperative banking Corporatism Cost the limit of price Danish cooperative movement Democratic socialism Employee-owned corporation Employee stock ownership plan Friendly society History of the cooperative movement Industrial and provident society List of co-operative federations List of cooperatives Market Socialism Microfinance / microcredit Mondragón Cooperative Corporation Mutual aid Mutual organization Mutual Ownership Defense Housing Division Mutualism (economic theory) Neo-capitalism Online media cooperative Participatory democracy Participatory economics Polytechnic University of the Philippines College of Cooperatives and Social Development Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen Rochdale Principles Social corporatism Social economy Social enterprise Social ownership Syndicalism Socialism Platform cooperative References Statement on the Cooperative Identity.

Y LOS PADRES JESUITAS, 1.NO DESCANSARIAN 2.POR AMOR AL NINO... 3.HASTA LOGRARLO... Descartes was a good student, although it is thought that he might have been sickly, CUAL ERA EL CURRICULUM & HORARIO EDUCATIVO, SIN ELECTRICIDAD, IMAGINESE? since he didn’t have to abide by the school’s 1.

PERO EN LA UNIVERSIDAD DE: POITIERS. So did spending the next four years earning a baccalaureate in law at the University of Poitiers. ALGUNOS ACADEMICOS & BIOGRAFOS: SENALAN QUE PROBABLEMENTE, TUVO PROBLEMAS NERVIOSOS (PSIQUIATRICOS) EN SUS ANOS DE: ESTUDIANTE UNIVERSITARIO. Some scholars speculate that he may have had a nervous breakdown during this time. PERO COMO DICE LA DOCTORA PAULA KROEBER: DESCASTER NACIO... CON UN CEREBRO COMPLEJO, DE SELVA TROPICAL...

ERA UN HOMBRE JOVEN, igual a todos los jovenes del mundo nacidos en 1596, SOLO QUE ESTE TENIA: 4 TITULOS UNIVERSITARIOS. 4. ESPECIALIDADES... Descartes later added theology and medicine to his studies. But he eschewed all this, “resolving to seek no knowledge other than that of which could be found in myself or else in the great book of the world,” 4 CUATRO ESPECIALIDADES CIENTIFICAS, NO A LOS 12 NI A LOS 20 ANOS DE EDAD: 1.

ESTE MUCHACHON TENIA : 30 ANOS DE EDAD. he wrote much later in Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason and Seeking Truth in the Sciences, published in 1637. QUE HIZO? 1. LO QUE HACEN TODOS LOS PATRIOTAS DEL MUNDO. 2. LO QUE HACEN TODOS LOS NACIONALISTAS DEL MUNDO... A.SE ENGANCHO, AL EJERCITO DE SU: PAIS..... B. SE JUGO LA VIDA : EN LOS CAMPOS DE BATALLA. C.

DE ISAAC BECKMAN... QUIEN: 1. CON SUS CONOCIMIENTOS: 2.INFLUYO PARA SIEMPRE: EN SU VIDA... Pwho would become for Descartes a very influential teacher. PERO, PARA SER UN PENSADOR UNIVERSITARIO; INNOOVADOR: COMO DR. FACUNDO MANES, QUE INICIO -SU VIDA CIENTIFICA- EN SEGUNDO ANO DE: MEDICINA, EN ARGENTINA... RENE DESCARTES INICIA AL FINALIZAR LA CARRERA EN LA: UNIVERSIDAD DE POITIERS... 12 MESES ANTES DE GRADUARSE... year after graduating from Poitiers, HACIA DONDE SE; 1. DIRIGIO SU PENSAMIENTO 2.Y SU:PROYECTO DE INVESTIGACION LONGITUDINAL? EN TRES LINEAS DE INVESTIGACION: Descartes credited a series of three very powerful dreams or visions with determining the course of his study for the rest of his life. 1. FUNDAR LA FILOSOFIA MODERNA O CONTEMPORANEA. Becoming the Father of Modern Philosophy. Descartes is considered by many to be the father of modern philosophy, 1.BECAUSE HIS IDEAS... because his ideas 2.DEPARTED WIDELY 2.1.FROM CURRENT 2.2.UNDERSTANDING 2.3.IN THE EARLY: 17 TH CENTURY. departed widely from current understanding in the early 17th century, 3. WHICH WAS MORE : FEELING-BASED. which was more feeling-based. While elements of his philosophy weren’t completely new, HIS APPROACH TO THEM WAS. his approach to them was. Descartes believed in basically: 1. clearing everything off the table, 2.all preconceived and 3. inherited notions, 4.and starting fresh, 5.putting back one by one THE THINGS THAT WERE CERTAIN the things that were certain, which for him began with the statement “I exist.” From this sprang his most famous quote: “I think; therefore I am.” Since Descartes believed that all truths WERE ULTIMATELY LINKED... were ultimately linked, he sought to UNCOVER... THE MEANING OR THE NATURAL WORLD uncover the meaning of the natural world WITH A RATIONAL 1. THROUGH SCIENCE. 2. MATHEMATICS. with a rational approach, through science and mathematics—in some ways 1.AND EXTENSION OF THE APPROACH an extension of the approach 2. SIR FRANCIS BACON Sir Francis Bacon had asserted in England A FEW DECADES PRIOR. a few decades prior. In addition to Discourse on the Method, Descartes also published: 1. MEDITATIONS ON FIRST PHILOSOPHY. 2. PRINCIPLES OF PHILOSOPHY. Meditations on First Philosophy and Principles of Philosophy, among other treatises. Although philosophy is largely where the 20th century deposited Descartes—each century has focused on different aspects of his work— HIS: 1. INVESTIGATIONS. 2. IN THEORETICAL : PHYSICS. LED MANY SCHOLARS TO CONSIDER HIM A : 1. MATHEMATICIAN. 2. FIRST. his investigations in theoretical physics led many scholars to consider him a mathematician first. HE INTRODUCED: 1. CARTESIAN GEOMETRY. He introduced Cartesian geometry, WHICH INCORPORATES: 1. ALGEBRA. 2. THROGH HIS LAWS OF : REFRACTION. which incorporates algebra; through his laws of refraction, 2. HE DEVELOPED AND: EMPIRICAL UNDERSTANDING OF RAINBOWS. he developed an empirical understanding of rainbows; 3. HE PROPOSED A: NATURALISTIC ACCOUNT OF THE FORMATION OF SOLAR SYSTEM. and he proposed a naturalistic account of the formation of the solar system, although he felt he had to suppress much of that due to Galileo’s fate at the hands of the Inquisition. His concern wasn’t misplaced— POPE ALEXANDER VII LATER ADDED DESCARTES WORKS TO THE : INDEX OF PROHIBITED BOOKS. Pope Alexander VII later added Descartes’ works to the Index of Prohibited Books. Later Life, Death and Legacy. DESCARTES: NEVER MARRIED.... Descartes never married, BUT HE DID HAVE A : DAUGHTER, FRANCINE... but he did have a daughter, Francine, born in the Netherlands in 1635. HE HAD MOVE -CENTRAL AT NORTH EUROPE- TRAVELING IN 1628, AT: NETHERLANDS. IN 1628He had moved to that country in 1628 because life in FRANCE WAS TOO BUSTLING FOR HIM TO CONCENTRATE ON HIS WORK France was too bustling for him to concentrate on his work, and Francine’s mother was a maid in the home where he was staying. HE HAD PLANNED TO HAVE THE : LITTLE GIRL EDUCATED... He had planned to have the little girl educated IN FRANCE... in France, having arranged for her to live WITH RELATIVES... with relatives, BUT SHE DIED OF A FEVER AT AGE 5.... but she died of a fever at age 5. 1.Descartes lived in the Netherlands FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS... 2.BUT DIED IN : STOCKHOLM, SWEDEN. for more than 20 years but died in Stockholm, Sweden, on February 11, 1650. He had moved there less than a year before, AT THE REQUEST OF QUEEN: CHIRSTINA at the request of Queen Christina, TO BE HER PHILOSOPHY TUTOR. to be her philosophy tutor. The fragile health indicated in his early life persisted. HABITS. 1.SPEND MORNING IN BED. He habitually spent mornings in bed, 2. WHERE HE CONTIUED TO HONOR HIS: DREAM LIFE. where he continued to honor his dream life, incorporating 1.IT INTO WAKING METHODOLOGIES it into his waking methodologies 2.IN CONCIOUS MEDITATION... in conscious meditation, 1.BUT THE QUEEN 'S INSISTENCE 2.ON 5 AM LESSONS... but the queen’s insistence on 5 am lessons 3. LED TO A BOUT OF PNEUMONIA led to a bout of pneumonia 4. FROM WHICH HE COULD NOT: RECOVER from which he could not recover. HE WAS 53 YEARS OLD.... He was 53. Sweden was a PROTESTANT COUNTRY. Protestant country, SO DESCARTES A CATHOLIC so Descartes, a Catholic, was buried in a graveyard primarily for unbaptized babies. Later, his remains were taken to the ABBEY OF SAINT-GERMAN-DE-PRES abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés, THE OLDEST CHURCH OF PARIS. the oldest church in Paris. They were moved during the French Revolution, and were put back later —although urban legend has it that only his heart is there and the rest IS BURIED IN THE PANTHEON. is buried in the Panthéon. Descartes’ approach of combining mathematics and logic with philosophy to explain the physical world turned metaphysical when confronted with questions of theology; it led him to a contemplation of the nature of existence and the mind-body duality, identifying the point of contact for the body with the soul at the pineal gland. It also led him to define the idea of dualism: matter meeting non-matter. Because his previous philosophical system had given man the tools to define knowledge of what is true, this concept led to controversy. Fortunately, Descartes himself had also invented methodological skepticism, OR CARTESIAN DOUBT or Cartesian doubt, thus making philosophers of us all. Fact Check We strive for accuracy and fairness.

EN SU VIDA HA SIDO MIEMBRO O SOCIO, DE POR LO MENOS: UNA COOPERATIVA, EN SU CICLO DE VIDA... Research published by the Worldwatch Institute found that in 2012 approximately one billion people in 96 countries had become members of at least one cooperative.[2] The turnover of the largest three hundred cooperatives in the world reached $2.2 trillion.[3]. ------- Cooperative businesses are TIPICAMENTE MAS ECONOMICAMENTE: RESILENTES... typically more economically resilient than many other forms of enterprise, with twice the number of co-operatives (80%) surviving their first five years compared with other business ownership models (41%).[4] . Cooperatives frequently have social goals which they aim to accomplish by investing a proportion of trading profits back into their communities. As an example of this, in 2013, retail co-operatives in the UK invested 6.9% of their pre-tax profits in the communities in which they trade as compared with 2.4% for other rival supermarkets.[5]. EL DOMINIO VIRTUAL O DIGITAL: COOP, -Se ha popularizado desde el ano 2002- Since 2002 cooperatives have been distinguishable on the Internet through the use of a .coop domain.

Origins and history Main article: History of the cooperative movement Cooperation dates back as far as human beings have been organizing for mutual benefits. DESDE LAS TRIBUS...

Pre-industrial Europe is home to the first cooperatives from an industrial context.[7] The roots of the cooperative movement can be traced to multiple influences and extend worldwide. In the English-speaking world, POST-FEUDAL FORMS OF COOPERATION: 1.BETWEEN WORKERS. 2. AND OWNERS. post-feudal forms of cooperation between workers and owners that are expressed today as "profit-sharing" and "surplus sharing" arrangements, existed as far back as 1795.[8] THE KEY IDEOLOGICAL INFLUENCE... The key ideological influence on the Anglosphere branch of the cooperative movement, however, was a rejection of the charity principles that UNDERPINNED WELFARE REFORMS WHEN THE BRITISH underpinned welfare reforms when the BRITISH GOVERNMENT: RADICALLY British government radically REVISED THE POOR LAWS (1834). revised its Poor Laws in 1834. AS BOTH: 1. THE STATE. 2. CHURCH INSTITUTIONS. As both state and church institutions began to routinely distinguish between the 'deserving' and 'undeserving' poor, a movement of friendly societies grew throughout the British Empire based on the PRINCIPLE OF MUTUALLY: COMMITTED principle of mutuality, committed TO SELF- HELP.. to self-help in the welfare of working people.[citation needed] ROBERT OWEN AS PIONEER (1771-1858). Robert Owen (1771–1858) was a social reformer and a pioneer OF THE COOPERATIVE MOVEMENT. of the cooperative movement. In 1761, the Fenwick Weavers' Society was formed in Fenwick, East Ayrshire, Scotland to sell discounted oatmeal to local workers.[9] Its services expanded to INCLUDE: 1. ASSISTANCE. 2. SAVINGS. 3. LOANS. 4. EMIGRATION. 5. EDUCATION. include assistance with savings and loans, emigration and education. In 1810, Welsh social reformer Robert Owen, from Newtown in mid-Wales, and his partners purchased New Lanark mill from Owen's father-in-law David Dale and proceeded to introduce better labour standards including discounted retail shops where profits were passed on to his employees. Owen left New Lanark to pursue other forms of cooperative organization and develop coop ideas through writing and lecture. COOPERATIVES COMMUNITIES. Cooperative communities were set up in Glasgow, Indiana and Hampshire, although ultimately unsuccessful. --- FIRST COOPERATIVE: NEWSPAPER...(1828) ---- WILLIAM KING, THE NEWSPAPER: THE COOPERATOR. In 1828, William King set up a newspaper, The Cooperator, to promote Owen's thinking, having already set up a cooperative store in Brighton.[10][11]. ------ THE ROCHDALE SOCIETY OF EQUITABLE PIONEERS (RCEP) FOUNDED IN 1844... ---------- The Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers, (RCEP) founded in 1844, is usually considered the first successful cooperative enterprise, used as a model for modern coops, following the 'Rochdale Principles'. A group of 28 weavers and other artisans in Rochdale, England set up the society to open their own store selling food items they could not otherwise afford. Within ten years there were over a thousand cooperative societies in the United Kingdom.[citation needed] Spolok Gazdovský founded in 1845 by Samuel Jurkovič, was the first cooperative in Europe.[12] Other events such as the founding of a friendly society by the Tolpuddle Martyrs in 1832 were key occasions in the creation of organized labor and consumer movements.[13] Friendly Societies established forums through which one member, one vote was practiced in organisation decision-making. The principles challenged the idea that a person should be an owner of property before being granted a political voice. Throughout the second half of the nineteenth century (and then repeatedly every twenty years or so) there was a surge in the number of cooperative organisations, both in commercial practice and civil society, operating to advance democracy and universal suffrage as a political principle.[14] Friendly Societies and consumer cooperatives became the dominant form of organization amongst working people in Anglosphere industrial societies prior to the rise of trade unions and industrial factories. Weinbren reports that by the end of the 19th century, over 80% of British working age men and 90% of Australian working age men were members of one or more Friendly Society.[15] From the mid-nineteenth century, mutual organisations embraced these ideas in economic enterprises, firstly amongst tradespeople, and later in cooperative stores, educational institutes, financial institutions and industrial enterprises. The common thread (enacted in different ways, and subject to the constraints of various systems of national law) is the principle that an enterprise or association should be owned and controlled by the people it serves, and share any surpluses on the basis of each member's cooperative contribution (as a producer, labourer or consumer) rather than their capacity to invest financial capital.[16] The International Co-operative Alliance was the first international association formed (1895) by the cooperative movement.[citation needed] It includes the World Council of Credit Unions. A second organization formed later in Germany: the International Raiffeisen Union. In the United States, the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA CLUSA; the abbreviation of the organization retains the initials of its former name, Cooperative League of the USA) serves as the sector's oldest national membership association. It is dedicated to ensuring that cooperative businesses have the same opportunities as other businesses operating in the country and that consumers have access to cooperatives in the marketplace. In 1945 Artturi Ilmari Virtanen received Nobel prize for chemistry for AIV silage which improved milk production and a method of preserving butter, the AIV salt, which led to increased Finnish butter exports. He had started his career in chemistry in Valio, a cooperative of dairy farmers in which he headed the research department for 50 years and where all his major inventions were first put to practice. Cooperative banks were first to adopt online banking. Stanford Federal Credit Union was the first financial institution to offer online internet banking services to all of its members in October 1994.[17] In 1996 OP Financial Group, also a cooperative bank, became the second online bank in the world and the first in Europe.[18] By 2004 a new association focused on worker co-ops was founded, the United States Federation of Worker Cooperatives. The cooperative movement has been fueled globally by ideas of economic democracy. Economic democracy is a socioeconomic philosophy that suggests an expansion of decision-making power from a small minority of corporate shareholders to a larger majority of public stakeholders. There are many different approaches to thinking about and building economic democracy. Anarchists are committed to libertarian socialism and have focused on local organization, including locally managed cooperatives, linked through confederations of unions, cooperatives and communities. Marxists, who as socialists have likewise held and worked for the goal of democratizing productive and reproductive relationships, often placed a greater strategic emphasis on confronting the larger scales of human organization. As they viewed the capitalist class to be politically, militarily and culturally mobilized for the purpose of maintaining an exploitable working class, they fought in the early 20th century to appropriate from the capitalist class the society's collective political capacity in the form of the state, either through democratic socialism, or through what came to be known as Leninism. Though they regard the state as an unnecessarily oppressive institution, Marxists considered appropriating national and international-scale capitalist institutions and resources (such as the state) to be an important first pillar in creating conditions favorable to solidaristic economies.[19][20] With the declining influence of the USSR after the 1960s, socialist strategies pluralized, though economic democratizers have not as yet established a fundamental challenge to the hegemony of global neoliberal capitalism. Meaning Identity Co-op principles and values Cooperative principles are the seven guidelines by which coops put their values into practice, often called the seven Rochdale Principles:[21] Voluntary and open membership Democratic member control Economic participation by members Autonomy and independence Education, training and information Cooperation among cooperatives Concern for community Cooperatives' values, in the tradition of its founders, are based on "self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity." Co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others. Co-op Marque and domain Since 2002, ICA cooperatives and WOCCU credit unions could be distinguished by use of a .coop domain. In 2014, ICA introduced the Global Cooperative Marque[22] for use by ICA's[23] Cooperative members and by WOCCU's Credit Union members so they can be further identified[24] by their coop ethical consumerism label. The marque is used today by thousands of cooperatives in more than a hundred countries.[25] The .coop domain and Co-operative Marque were designed as a new symbol of the global cooperative movement and its collective identity in the digital age. The Co-operative Marque and domain is reserved just for co-operatives, credit unions and organisations that support co-operatives; is distinguished by its ethical badge that subscribes to the seven ICA Cooperative Principles and Co-op Values. Co-ops can be identified on the Internet through the use of the .coop suffix of internet addresses. Organizations using .coop domain names must adhere to the basic co-op values. Cooperatives as legal entities A cooperative is a legal entity owned and democratically controlled by its members. Members often have a close association with the enterprise as producers or consumers of its products or services, or as its employees.[26] The legal entities have a range of social characteristics. Membership is open, meaning that anyone who satisfies certain non-discriminatory conditions may join. Economic benefits are distributed proportionally to each member's level of participation in the cooperative, for instance, by a dividend on sales or purchases, rather than according to capital invested.[27] Cooperatives may be classified as either worker, consumer, producer, purchasing or housing cooperatives.[28] They are distinguished from other forms of incorporation in that profit-making or economic stability are balanced by the interests of the community.[27] There are specific forms of incorporation for cooperatives in some countries, e.g. Finland[29] and Australia.[30] Cooperatives may take the form of companies limited by shares or by guarantee, partnerships or unincorporated associations. In the UK they may also use the industrial and provident society structure. In the US, cooperatives are often organized as non-capital stock corporations under state-specific cooperative laws. Cooperatives often share their earnings with the membership as a dividends, which are divided among the members according to their participation in the enterprise, such as patronage, instead of according to the value of their capital shareholdings (as is done by a joint stock company). Economic stability Main article: Economic stability Capital and the Debt Trap reports that "cooperatives tend to have a longer life than other types of enterprise, and thus a higher level of entrepreneurial sustainability". This resilience has been attributed to how cooperatives share risks and rewards between members, how they harness the ideas of many and how members have a tangible ownership stake in the business. Additionally, "cooperative banks build up counter-cyclical buffers that function well in case of a crisis," and are less likely to lead members and clients towards a debt trap (p. 216). This is explained by their more democratic governance that reduces perverse incentives and subsequent contributions to economic bubbles. In Europe A 2013 report by ILO concluded that cooperative banks outperformed their competitors during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. The cooperative banking sector had 20% market share of the European banking sector, but accounted for only 7 per cent of all the write-downs and losses between the third quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2011. Cooperative banks were also over-represented in lending to small and medium-sized businesses in all of the 10 countries included in the report.[31] A 2013 report published by the UK Office for National Statistics showed that in the UK the rate of survival of cooperatives after five years was 80 percent compared with only 41 percent for all other enterprises.[4] A further study found that after ten years 44 percent of cooperatives were still in operation, compared with only 20 percent for all enterprises. A 2012 report published by The European Confederation of cooperatives and worker-owned enterprises active in industry and services showed that in France and Spain, worker cooperatives and social cooperatives “have been more resilient than conventional enterprises during the economic crisis”.[32] In North America In the United States of America Main article: History of cooperatives in the United States In a 2007 study by the World Council of Credit Unions, the 5-year survival rate of cooperatives in the United States was found to be 90% in comparison to 3-5% for traditional businesses.[33] Credit unions, a type of cooperative bank, had five times lower failure rate than other banks during the financial crisis[34] and more than doubled lending to small businesses between 2008 - 2016, from $30 billion to $60 billion, while lending to small businesses overall during the same period declined by around $100 billion.[35] Public trust in credit unions stands at 60%, compared to 30% for big banks[36] and small businesses are five times less likely to be dissatisfied with a credit union than with a big bank.[37] In Canada Main article: History of cooperatives in Canada A 2010 report by the Ministry of Economic Development, Innovation and Export in Québec found that the five-year survival rate and 10-year survival rate of cooperatives in Québec to be 62% and 44% respectively compared to 35% and 20% for conventional firms.[38] Another report by the BC-Alberta Social economy Research Alliance found that the three-year survival rate of cooperatives in Alberta to be 81.5% in comparison to 48% for traditional firms.[39] Another report by the aforementioned Research Alliance found that in British Columbia, the 5-year survival rates for cooperatives between 2000 and 2010 to be 66.6% in comparison to conventional businesses that had 43% and 39% in the years 1984 and 1993 respectively[39] Types of cooperatives Co-op City in The Bronx, New York City is the largest cooperative housing development in the world, with 55,000 people.[40] The two largest supermarkets chains in Switzerland, Migros and Coop, are cooperatives. The third largest bank, Raiffeisen, is a cooperative as well. The top 300 largest cooperatives were listed in 2007 by the International Co-operative Alliance. 80% were involved in either agriculture, finance, or retail and more than half were in the United States, Italy, or France. Consumers' cooperative Main article: Consumers' cooperative A consumers' cooperative is a business owned by its customers. Members vote on major decisions and elect the board of directors from among their own number. The first of these was set up in 1844 in the North-West of England by 28 weavers who wanted to sell food at a lower price than the local shops. Retail cooperative Retail cooperatives are retailers, such as grocery stores, owned by their customers. They should not be confused with retailers' cooperatives, whose members are retailers rather than consumers. In Denmark, Singapore, Italy, and Finland the company with the largest market share in the grocery store sector is a consumer owned cooperative.[41][42][43][44] In Switzerland both the largest and the second largest retailer are consumer owned cooperatives[45]. Housing cooperative Main articles: Housing cooperative and Building cooperative A housing cooperative is a legal mechanism for ownership of housing where residents either own shares (share capital co-op) reflecting their equity in the cooperative's real estate, or have membership and occupancy rights in a not-for-profit cooperative (non-share capital co-op), and they underwrite their housing through paying subscriptions or rent. Housing cooperatives come in three basic equity structures In market-rate housing cooperatives, members may sell their shares in the cooperative whenever they like for whatever price the market will bear, much like any other residential property. Market-rate co-ops are very common in New York City. Limited equity housing cooperatives, which are often used by affordable housing developers, allow members to own some equity in their home, but limit the sale price of their membership share to that which they paid. Group equity or zero-equity housing cooperatives do not allow members to own equity in their residences and often have rental agreements well below market rates. Members of a building cooperative (in Britain known as a self-build housing cooperative) pool resources to build housing, normally using a high proportion of their own labor. When the building is finished, each member is the sole owner of a homestead, and the cooperative may be dissolved. This collective effort was at the origin of many of Britain's building societies, which however, developed into "permanent" mutual savings and loan organisations, a term which persisted in some of their names (such as the former Leeds Permanent). Nowadays such self-building may be financed using a step-by-step mortgage which is released in stages as the building is completed. The term may also refer to worker cooperatives in the building trade. Utility cooperative Main article: Utility cooperative A utility cooperative is a type of consumers' cooperative that is tasked with the delivery of a public utility such as electricity, water or telecommunications services to its members. Profits are either reinvested into infrastructure or distributed to members in the form of "patronage" or "capital credits", which are essentially dividends paid on a member's investment into the cooperative. In the United States, many cooperatives were formed to provide rural electrical and telephone service as part of the New Deal. See Rural Utilities Service. In the case of electricity, cooperatives are generally either generation and transmission (G&T) co-ops that create and send power via the transmission grid or local distribution co-ops that gather electricity from a variety of sources and send it along to homes and businesses. In Tanzania, it has been proven that the cooperative method is helpful in water distribution. When the people are involved with their own water, they care more because the quality of their work has a direct effect on the quality of their water. Credit unions, cooperative banking and co-operative insurance Main articles: Cooperative banking and Credit union The Co-operative Bank's head office in Manchester. The statue in front is of Robert Owen, a pioneer in the cooperative movement. Credit unions are cooperative financial institutions that are owned and controlled by their members. Credit unions provide the same financial services as banks but are considered not-for-profit organizations and adhere to cooperative principles. Credit unions originated in mid-19th-century Germany through the efforts of pioneers Franz Herman Schulze'Delitzsch and Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen. The concept of financial cooperatives crossed the Atlantic at the turn of the 20th century, when the caisse populaire movement was started by Alphonse Desjardins in Quebec, Canada. In 1900, from his home in Lévis, he opened North America's first credit union, marking the beginning of the Mouvement Desjardins. Eight years later, Desjardins provided guidance for the first credit union in the United States, where there are now about 7,950 active status federally insured credit unions, with almost 90 million members and more than $679 billion on deposit. Cooperative banking networks, which were nationalized in Eastern Europe, work now as real cooperative institutions. In Poland, the SKOK (Spółdzielcze Kasy Oszczędnościowo-Kredytowe) network has grown to serve over 1 million members via 13,000 branches, and is larger than the country's largest conventional bank. In Scandinavia, there is a clear distinction between mutual savings banks (Sparbank) and true credit unions (Andelsbank). The oldest cooperative banks in Europe, based on the ideas of Friedrich Raiffeisen, are joined together in the 'Urgenossen'. Worker cooperative Main article: Worker cooperative A worker cooperative or producer cooperative is a cooperative that is owned and democratically controlled by its "worker-owners". There are no outside owners in a "pure" workers' cooperative, only the workers own shares of the business, though hybrid forms exist in which consumers, community members or capitalist investors also own some shares. In practice, control by worker-owners may be exercised through individual, collective or majority ownership by the workforce, or the retention of individual, collective or majority voting rights (exercised on a one-member one-vote basis). A worker cooperative, therefore, has the characteristic that the majority of its workforce owns shares, and the majority of shares are owned by the workforce. Membership is not always compulsory for employees, but generally only employees can become members either directly (as shareholders) or indirectly through membership of a trust that owns the company. The impact of political ideology on practice constrains the development of cooperatives in different countries. In India, there is a form of workers' cooperative which insists on compulsory membership for all employees and compulsory employment for all members. That is the form of the Indian Coffee Houses. This system was advocated by the Indian communist leader A. K. Gopalan. In places like the UK, common ownership (indivisible collective ownership) was popular in the 1970s. Cooperative Societies only became legal in Britain after the passing of Slaney's Act in 1852. In 1865 there were 651 registered societies with a total membership of well over 200,000. There are now more than 400 worker cooperatives in the UK, Suma Wholefoods being the largest example with a turnover of £24 million. Business and employment cooperative Main article: Business and employment co-operative Business and employment cooperatives (BECs) are a subset of worker cooperatives that represent a new approach to providing support to the creation of new businesses. Like other business creation support schemes, BEC's enable budding entrepreneurs to experiment with their business idea while benefiting from a secure income. The innovation BECs introduce is that once the businesses are established, the entrepreneurs are not forced to leave and set up independently, but can stay and become full members of the cooperative. The micro-enterprises then combine to form one multi-activity enterprise whose members provide a mutually supportive environment for each other.[citation needed] BECs thus provide budding business people with an easy transition from inactivity to self-employment, but in a collective framework. They open up new horizons for people who have ambition but who lack the skills or confidence needed to set off entirely on their own – or who simply want to carry on an independent economic activity but within a supportive group context.[citation needed] Purchasing cooperative Main article: Purchasing cooperative A "purchasing cooperative" is a type of cooperative arrangement, often among businesses, to agree to aggregate demand to get lower prices from selected suppliers. Retailers' cooperatives are a form of purchasing cooperative. Major purchasing cooperatives include Best Western, ACE Hardware and CCA Global Partners. Agricultural service cooperatives provide various services to their individual farming members, and to agricultural production cooperatives, where production resources such as land or machinery are pooled and members farm jointly.[46] Agricultural supply cooperatives aggregate purchases, storage, and distribution of farm inputs for their members. By taking advantage of volume discounts and utilizing other economies of scale, supply cooperatives bring down members' costs. Supply cooperatives may provide seeds, fertilizers, chemicals, fuel, and farm machinery. Some supply cooperatives also operate machinery pools that provide mechanical field services (e.g., plowing, harvesting) to their members. Known examples include the cranberry-and-grapefruit cooperative Ocean Spray, collective farms in socialist states and the kibbutzim in Israel. Producer cooperative Producer cooperatives have producers as their members, and provide services involved in moving a product from the point of production to the point of consumption. Unlike worker cooperatives, they allow businesses with multiple employees to join. Agricultural marketing cooperatives operate a series of interconnected activities involving planning production, growing and harvesting, grading, packing, transport, storage, food processing, distribution and sale. Agricultural marketing cooperatives are often formed to promote specific commodities. Commercially successful agricultural marketing cooperatives include India's Amul (dairy products), which is the world's largest producer of milk and milk products, Dairy Farmers of America (dairy products) in the United States, and Malaysia's FELDA (palm oil). Producer cooperatives may also be organized by small businesses for pooling their savings and accessing capital, for acquiring supplies and services, or for marketing products and services. Producer cooperatives among urban artisans were developed in the mid-19th-century in Germany by Franz Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch, who also promoted changes to the legal system (the Prussian Genossenschaftsgesetz of 1867) that facilitated such cooperatives.[47] At about the same time, Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen developed similar cooperatives among rural people.[48] Multi-stakeholder cooperatives Multi-stakeholder cooperatives include representation from different stakeholder groups, such as both consumers and workers. Social cooperative Cooperatives traditionally combine social benefit interests with capitalistic property-right interests. Cooperatives achieve a mix of social and capital purposes by democratically governing distribution questions by and between equal but not controlling members. Democratic oversight of decisions to equitably distribute assets and other benefits means capital ownership is arranged in a way for social benefit inside the organization. External societal benefit is also encouraged by incorporating the operating-principle of cooperation between co-operatives. In the final year of the 20th century, cooperatives banded together to establish a number of social enterprise agencies which have moved to adopt the multi-stakeholder cooperative model. In the years 1994–2009 the EU and its member nations gradually revised national accounting systems to "make visible" the increasing contribution of social economy organizations.[49] Main article: Social cooperative A particularly successful form of multi-stakeholder cooperative is the Italian "social cooperative", of which some 11,000 exist.[50] "Type A" social cooperatives bring together providers and beneficiaries of a social service as members. "Type B" social cooperatives bring together permanent workers and previously unemployed people who wish to integrate into the labor market. They are legally defined as follows: no more than 80% of profits may be distributed, interest is limited to the bond rate and dissolution is altruistic (assets may not be distributed) the cooperative has legal personality and limited liability the objective is the general benefit of the community and the social integration of citizens those of type B integrate disadvantaged people into the labour market. The categories of disadvantage they target may include physical and mental disability, drug and alcohol addiction, developmental disorders and problems with the law. They do not include other factors of disadvantage such as unemployment, race, sexual orientation or abuse. type A cooperatives provide health, social or educational services various categories of stakeholder may become members, including paid employees, beneficiaries, volunteers (up to 50% of members), financial investors and public institutions. In type B cooperatives at least 30% of the members must be from the disadvantaged target groups voting is one person one vote New generation cooperative New generation cooperatives (NGCs) are an adaptation of traditional cooperative structures to modern, capital intensive industries. They are sometimes described as a hybrid between traditional co-ops and limited liability companies or public benefit corporations. They were first developed in California and spread and flourished in the US Mid-West in the 1990s.[51] They are now common in Canada where they operate primarily in agriculture and food services, where their primary purpose is to add value to primary products. For example, producing ethanol from corn, pasta from durum wheat, or gourmet cheese from goat's milk. A representative example of an operating NGC is the Fourth Estate (association), a global multi-stakeholder NGC journalism association. Other Platform cooperative Main article: Platform cooperative A platform cooperative, or platform co-op, is a cooperatively owned, democratically governed business that establishes a computing platform, and uses a protocol, website or mobile app to facilitate the sale of goods and services. Platform cooperatives are an alternative to venture capital-funded platforms insofar as they are owned and governed by those who depend on them most—workers, users, and other relevant stakeholders. Proponents of platform cooperativism claim that, by ensuring the financial and social value of a platform circulate among these participants, platform cooperatives will bring about a more equitable and fair digitally mediated economy in contrast with the extractive models of corporate intermediaries. Platform cooperatives differ from traditional cooperatives not only due to their use of digital technologies, but also by their contribution to the commons for the purpose of fostering an equitable social and economic landscape. Volunteer cooperative A volunteer cooperative is a cooperative that is run by and for a network of volunteers, for the benefit of a defined membership or the general public, to achieve some goal. Depending on the structure, it may be a collective or mutual organization, which is operated according to the principles of cooperative governance. The most basic form of volunteer-run cooperative is a voluntary association. A lodge or social club may be organized on this basis. A volunteer-run co-op is distinguished from a worker cooperative in that the latter is by definition employee-owned, whereas the volunteer cooperative is typically a non-stock corporation, volunteer-run consumer co-op or service organization, in which workers and beneficiaries jointly participate in management decisions and receive discounts on the basis of sweat equity. Federal or secondary cooperative Main article: Cooperative Federation In some cases, cooperative societies find it advantageous to form cooperative federations in which all of the members are themselves cooperatives. Historically, these have predominantly come in the form of cooperative wholesale societies, and cooperative unions. Cooperative federations are a means through which cooperative societies can fulfill the sixth Rochdale Principle, cooperation among cooperatives, with the ICA noting that "Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, regional and international structures." See also: List of Co-operative Federations Cooperative union A second common form of cooperative federation is a cooperative union, whose objective (according to Gide) is "to develop the spirit of solidarity among societies and... in a word, to exercise the functions of a government whose authority, it is needless to say, is purely moral." Co-operatives UK and the International Cooperative Alliance are examples of such arrangements. Cooperative political movements In some countries with a strong cooperative sector, such as the UK, cooperatives may find it advantageous to form political groupings to represent their interests. The British Co-operative Party, the Canadian Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and United Farmers of Alberta are prime examples of such arrangements. UK The British cooperative movement formed the Co-operative Party in the early 20th century to represent members of consumers' cooperatives in Parliament, which was the first of its kind. The Co-operative Party now has a permanent electoral pact with the Labour Party meaning someone cannot be a member if they support a party other than Labour. Plaid Cymru also run a credit union that is constituted as a co-operative, called the 'Plaid Cymru Credit Union'.[52] UK cooperatives retain a strong market share in food retail, insurance, banking, funeral services, and the travel industry in many parts of the country, although this is still significantly lower than other business models.[53] Leader of the British Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn has publicly expressed support for worker cooperatives.[54] Philippines The Cooperative NATCCO Party (Coop-NATCCO) is a party-list in the Philippines which serves as the electoral wing of the National Confederation of Cooperatives (NATCCO). Coop-NATCCO has represented the Philippine co-operative sector in the Philippine 11th Congress since 1998. Women in cooperatives Main article: Women in cooperatives Since cooperatives are based on values like self-help, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity, they can play a particularly strong role in empowering women, especially in developing countries.[55] Cooperatives allow women who might have been isolated and working individually to band together and create economies of scale as well as increase their own bargaining power in the market. In statements in advance of International Women's Day in early 2013, President of the International Cooperative Alliance, Dame Pauline Green, said, "Cooperative businesses have done so much to help women onto the ladder of economic activity. With that comes community respect, political legitimacy and influence." However, despite the supposed democratic structure of cooperatives and the values and benefits shared by members, due to gender norms on the traditional role of women, and other instilled cultural practices that sidestep attempted legal protections, women suffer a disproportionately low representation in cooperative membership around the world. Representation of women through active membership (showing up to meetings and voting), as well as in leadership and managerial positions is even lower.[56] Cooperatives in popular culture As of 2012, the number of memberships in cooperatives reached one billion,[57] and so the organizational structure and movement has seeped into popular culture. In the HBO drama television series The Wire, several drug dealers create a democratic alliance called the New Day Co-Op with the interests of cutting back on violence and increasing business.

(1596-1616)

Early Life
Philosopher René Descartes was born on March 31, 1596, in La Haye en Touraine,

1. UNA PEQUENA CIUDAD :

a small town in central France,

which has since been renamed

1. TAN PRONTO VENCIO EL LUTO DE:

LA VIUDEDAD.

2. TAN PRONTO SE VOLVIO A CASAR...

2. LO ACOMPLEJE.

3. LE DANE LA AUTO-ESTIMA...

But he was very concerned with good education and sent René, at age 8,

LO METIO 7 ANOS CON LOS :

JESUITAS....
to boarding school at the Jesuit college of Henri IV in La Flèche, several miles to the north, for seven years.

DE INFANCIA, DE NINO:

DESCARTES, DESDE EL PRINCIPIO:

FUE BUEN ALUMNO...

1. LA ESCUELA ERA: RIGUROSA.

2. A LA ESCUELA NO LE IMPORTABA:

QUE EN ESOS 7 ANOS, SE ENFERMARA...

LA ESCUELA: NO COGIA CORTES.

LA ESCUELA: NO ACEPTABA NONERIAS.

JESUITA, PARA SER EDUCADO...

Y LOS PADRES JESUITAS,

1.NO DESCANSARIAN

2.POR AMOR AL NINO...

3.HASTA LOGRARLO...

Descartes was a good student, although it is thought that he might have been sickly,

CUAL ERA EL CURRICULUM & HORARIO

EDUCATIVO, SIN ELECTRICIDAD, IMAGINESE?

since he didn’t have to abide by the school’s

1. RIGOR.

2. VIDA ESCOLAR HASTA:

LA MEDIANOCHE...

rigorous schedule and was instead allowed to rest in bed until midmorning.

QUE LE ENSENARON LOS CURAS

JESUITAS A RENE DESCARTES EN

LOS PRIMEROS 7 ANOS DE :

ESCOLARIZACION?

1. RETORICA CLASICA.

2. LOGICA FORMAL.

3. LAS ARTES DE LAS:

The subjects he studied, such as rhetoric and logic and the “mathematical arts,”

PERO NO TODO ERA ABURRIDO:

HABIA ALEGRIA, EN EL CUADRIVIUM

1. LA MUSICA.

2. LA ASTRONOMIA.

which included music and astronomy,

PERO NO ERA PARA SER ARTISTA

QUE LO ESTABAN EDUCANDO...

SINO PARA SER MATEMATICO...

POR TANTO EL CURRICULUM,

incluia:

1. METAFISICA.

2. FILOSOFIA NATURAL.

3. ETICA.

as well as metaphysics, natural philosophy and ethics,

LA MATERIA PRIMA EN LA INFANCIA, PARA:

1. DE ADULTO PODER DEDICARSE A LA :

PROFESION DE FILOSOFO.

equipped him well for his future as a philosopher.

LUEGO EN 4 ANOS:

SE HIZO CIENTIFICO DE LAS CIENCIAS

JURIDICAS...

PERO EN LA UNIVERSIDAD DE:

POITIERS.

So did spending the next four years earning a baccalaureate in law at the University of Poitiers.

ALGUNOS ACADEMICOS & BIOGRAFOS:

SENALAN QUE PROBABLEMENTE, TUVO

PROBLEMAS NERVIOSOS (PSIQUIATRICOS)

EN SUS ANOS DE:

ESTUDIANTE UNIVERSITARIO.

Some scholars speculate that he may have had a nervous breakdown during this time.

PERO COMO DICE LA DOCTORA

SELVA TROPICAL...

SIENDO YA ABOGADO & MATEMATICO...

VOLVIO A LA UNIVERSIDAD:

1. SE HIZO TEOLOGO.

2. SE HIZO MEDICO.

ERA UN HOMBRE JOVEN, igual a todos

los jovenes del mundo nacidos en 1596,

SOLO QUE ESTE TENIA:

4 TITULOS UNIVERSITARIOS.

4. ESPECIALIDADES...

Descartes later added theology and medicine to his studies.

But he eschewed all this, “resolving to seek no knowledge other than that of which could be found in myself or else in the great book of the world,”

4 CUATRO ESPECIALIDADES CIENTIFICAS,

NO A LOS 12 NI A LOS 20 ANOS DE EDAD:

1. SE SIENTA EN UNA SILLA.

QUE EDAD TENIA ESTE POLIMATA, EN

EL ANO: 1637, SI HABIA NACIDO EN

1597?

ESTE MUCHACHON TENIA :

30 ANOS DE EDAD.

he wrote much later in Discourse on the Method of Rightly Conducting the Reason and Seeking Truth in the Sciences, published in 1637.

QUE HIZO?

DEL MUNDO.

year after graduating from Poitiers,

HACIA DONDE SE;

1. DIRIGIO SU PENSAMIENTO

2.Y SU:PROYECTO DE

INVESTIGACION LONGITUDINAL?

EN TRES LINEAS DE INVESTIGACION:

Descartes credited a series of three very powerful dreams or visions with determining the course of his study for the rest of his life.

1. FUNDAR LA FILOSOFIA MODERNA

O CONTEMPORANEA.

Becoming the Father of Modern Philosophy.

Descartes is considered by many to be the

father of modern philosophy,

1.BECAUSE HIS IDEAS...

because his ideas

2.DEPARTED WIDELY

2.1.FROM CURRENT

2.2.UNDERSTANDING

2.3.IN THE EARLY: 17 TH CENTURY.

departed widely from current understanding in the early 17th century,

3. WHICH WAS MORE :

FEELING-BASED.

which was more feeling-based. While elements of his philosophy weren’t completely new,

HIS APPROACH TO THEM WAS.

his approach to them was.

Descartes believed in basically:

1. clearing everything off the table,

2.all preconceived and

3. inherited notions,

4.and starting fresh,

5.putting back one by one

THE THINGS THAT WERE CERTAIN

the things that were certain,

which for him began with the statement “I exist.”

From this sprang his most famous quote:

“I think; therefore I am.”

Since Descartes believed that all truths

WERE ULTIMATELY LINKED...

were ultimately linked, he sought to

UNCOVER...

THE MEANING

OR THE NATURAL WORLD

uncover the meaning of the natural world

WITH A RATIONAL

1. THROUGH SCIENCE.

2. MATHEMATICS.

with a rational approach, through science

and mathematics—in some ways

1.AND EXTENSION OF THE APPROACH

an extension of the approach

2. SIR FRANCIS BACON

Sir Francis Bacon had asserted in England

A FEW DECADES PRIOR.

a few decades prior.

In addition to Discourse on the Method,

Descartes also published:

1. MEDITATIONS ON FIRST PHILOSOPHY.

2. PRINCIPLES OF PHILOSOPHY.

Meditations on First Philosophy and Principles of Philosophy, among other treatises.

Although philosophy is largely where the 20th century deposited Descartes—each century has focused on different aspects of his work—

HIS:

1. INVESTIGATIONS.

2. IN THEORETICAL : PHYSICS.

LED MANY SCHOLARS TO CONSIDER

HIM A :

1. MATHEMATICIAN.

2. FIRST.

his investigations in theoretical physics led many scholars to consider him a mathematician first.

HE INTRODUCED:

1. CARTESIAN GEOMETRY.

He introduced Cartesian geometry,

WHICH INCORPORATES:

1. ALGEBRA.

2. THROGH HIS LAWS OF :

REFRACTION.

which incorporates algebra; through his laws of refraction,

2. HE DEVELOPED AND: EMPIRICAL

UNDERSTANDING OF RAINBOWS.

he developed an empirical understanding of rainbows;

3. HE PROPOSED A: NATURALISTIC

ACCOUNT

OF THE FORMATION OF SOLAR SYSTEM.

and he proposed a naturalistic account of the formation of the solar system,

although he felt he had to suppress much of that due to Galileo’s fate at the hands of the Inquisition.

His concern wasn’t misplaced—

POPE ALEXANDER VII

DESCARTES WORKS

INDEX OF PROHIBITED BOOKS.

Pope Alexander VII later added Descartes’ works to the Index of Prohibited Books.

Later Life, Death and Legacy.

DESCARTES:

NEVER MARRIED....

Descartes never married,

BUT HE DID HAVE A :

DAUGHTER, FRANCINE...

but he did have a daughter, Francine, born in the Netherlands in 1635.

HE HAD MOVE

-CENTRAL AT NORTH EUROPE-

TRAVELING IN 1628, AT:

NETHERLANDS.

IN 1628He had moved to that country in 1628 because life in

FRANCE WAS TOO BUSTLING

FOR HIM TO CONCENTRATE

ON HIS WORK

France was too bustling for him to concentrate on his work, and Francine’s mother was a maid in the home where he was staying.

HE HAD PLANNED TO HAVE THE :

FOR MORE THAN 20 YEARS...

2.BUT DIED IN :

for more than 20 years but died in Stockholm, Sweden, on February 11, 1650.

He had moved there less than a year before,

AT THE REQUEST OF QUEEN:

4. FROM WHICH HE COULD NOT:

RECOVER

from which he could not recover.

HE WAS 53 YEARS OLD....

He was 53.

Sweden was a

PROTESTANT COUNTRY.

Protestant country,

SO DESCARTES A CATHOLIC

so Descartes, a Catholic, was buried

in a graveyard primarily for unbaptized babies.

Later, his remains were taken to the

ABBEY

OF SAINT-GERMAN-DE-PRES

abbey of Saint-Germain-des-Prés,

THE OLDEST CHURCH OF PARIS.

the oldest church in Paris.

They were moved during the French

Revolution, and were put back later

—although urban legend has it that only

his heart is there and the rest

IS BURIED IN THE PANTHEON.

is buried in the Panthéon.

Descartes’ approach of combining mathematics and logic with philosophy to explain the physical world turned metaphysical when confronted with questions of theology; it led him to a contemplation of the nature of existence and the mind-body duality, identifying the point of contact for the body with the soul at the pineal gland. It also led him to define the idea of dualism: matter meeting non-matter.

Because his previous philosophical system had given man the tools to define knowledge of what is true, this concept led to controversy.

Fortunately, Descartes himself had also invented methodological skepticism,

OR CARTESIAN DOUBT

or Cartesian doubt, thus making philosophers

of us all.

Pre-industrial Europe is home to the first cooperatives from an industrial context.[7]

The roots of the cooperative movement can be traced to multiple influences and extend worldwide. In the English-speaking world,

POST-FEUDAL FORMS

2. AND OWNERS.

post-feudal forms of cooperation between workers and owners that are expressed today as "profit-sharing" and "surplus sharing" arrangements, existed as far back as 1795.[8]

THE KEY IDEOLOGICAL INFLUENCE...

The key ideological influence on the Anglosphere branch of the cooperative movement, however, was a rejection of the charity principles that

In 1810, Welsh social reformer Robert Owen, from Newtown in mid-Wales, and his partners purchased New Lanark mill from Owen's father-in-law David Dale and proceeded to introduce better labour standards including discounted retail shops where profits were passed on to his employees.

Owen left New Lanark to pursue other forms of cooperative organization and develop coop ideas through writing and lecture.

Cooperative communities were set up in Glasgow, Indiana and Hampshire, although ultimately unsuccessful.

THE ROCHDALE SOCIETY OF EQUITABLE

PIONEERS (RCEP) FOUNDED IN 1844...

----------

The Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers, (RCEP) founded in 1844, is usually considered the first successful cooperative enterprise, used as a model for modern coops, following the 'Rochdale Principles'.

A group of 28 weavers and other artisans in Rochdale, England set up the society to open their own store selling food items they could not otherwise afford. Within ten years there were over a thousand cooperative societies in the United Kingdom.[citation needed]

Spolok Gazdovský founded in 1845 by Samuel Jurkovič, was the first cooperative in Europe.[12]

Other events such as the founding of a friendly society by the Tolpuddle Martyrs in 1832 were key occasions in the creation of organized labor and consumer movements.[13]

Friendly Societies established forums through which one member, one vote was practiced in organisation decision-making. The principles challenged the idea that a person should be an owner of property before being granted a political voice.

Throughout the second half of the nineteenth century (and then repeatedly every twenty years or so) there was a surge in the number of cooperative organisations, both in commercial practice and civil society, operating to advance democracy and universal suffrage as a political principle.[14]

Friendly Societies and consumer cooperatives became the dominant form of organization amongst working people in Anglosphere industrial societies prior to the rise of trade unions and industrial factories.

Weinbren reports that by the end of the 19th century, over 80% of British working age men and 90% of Australian working age men were members of one or more Friendly Society.[15]

From the mid-nineteenth century, mutual organisations embraced these ideas in economic enterprises, firstly amongst tradespeople, and later in cooperative stores, educational institutes, financial institutions and industrial enterprises.

The common thread (enacted in different ways, and subject to the constraints of various systems of national law) is the principle that an enterprise or association should be owned and controlled by the people it serves, and share any surpluses on the basis of each member's cooperative contribution (as a producer, labourer or consumer) rather than their capacity to invest financial capital.[16]

The International Co-operative Alliance was the first international association formed (1895) by the cooperative movement.[citation needed] It includes the World Council of Credit Unions.

A second organization formed later in Germany: the International Raiffeisen Union. In the United States, the National Cooperative Business Association (NCBA CLUSA; the abbreviation of the organization retains the initials of its former name,

Cooperative League of the USA) serves as the sector's oldest national membership association. It is dedicated to ensuring that cooperative businesses have the same opportunities as other businesses operating in the country and that consumers have access to cooperatives in the marketplace.

In 1945 Artturi Ilmari Virtanen received Nobel prize for chemistry for AIV silage which improved milk production and a method of preserving butter, the AIV salt, which led to increased Finnish butter exports.

He had started his career in chemistry in Valio, a cooperative of dairy farmers in which he headed the research department for 50 years and where all his major inventions were first put to practice.

Cooperative banks were first to adopt online banking. Stanford Federal Credit Union was the first financial institution to offer online internet banking services to all of its members in October 1994.[17]

In 1996 OP Financial Group, also a cooperative bank, became the second online bank in the world and the first in Europe.[18]

By 2004 a new association focused on worker co-ops was founded, the United States Federation of Worker Cooperatives.

The cooperative movement has been fueled globally by ideas of economic democracy. Economic democracy is a socioeconomic philosophy that suggests an expansion of decision-making power from a small minority of corporate shareholders to a larger majority of public stakeholders.

There are many different approaches to thinking about and building economic democracy. Anarchists are committed to libertarian socialism and have focused on local organization, including locally managed cooperatives, linked through confederations of unions, cooperatives and communities.

Marxists, who as socialists have likewise held and worked for the goal of democratizing productive and reproductive relationships, often placed a greater strategic emphasis on confronting the larger scales of human organization.

As they viewed the capitalist class to be politically, militarily and culturally mobilized for the purpose of maintaining an exploitable working class, they fought in the early 20th century to appropriate from the capitalist class the society's collective political capacity in the form of the state, either through democratic socialism, or through what came to be known as Leninism.

Though they regard the state as an unnecessarily oppressive institution, Marxists considered appropriating national and international-scale capitalist institutions and resources (such as the state) to be an important first pillar in creating conditions favorable to solidaristic economies.[19][20]

With the declining influence of the USSR after the 1960s, socialist strategies pluralized, though economic democratizers have not as yet established a fundamental challenge to the hegemony of global neoliberal capitalism.

Meaning
Identity
Co-op principles and values
Cooperative principles are the seven guidelines by which coops put their values into practice, often called the seven Rochdale Principles:[21]

Voluntary and open membership
Democratic member control
Economic participation by members
Autonomy and independence
Education, training and information
Cooperation among cooperatives
Concern for community
Cooperatives' values, in the tradition of its founders, are based on "self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity." Co-operative members believe in the ethical values of honesty, openness, social responsibility and caring for others.

Co-op Marque and domain
Since 2002, ICA cooperatives and WOCCU credit unions could be distinguished by use of a .coop domain. In 2014, ICA introduced the Global Cooperative Marque[22] for use by ICA's[23] Cooperative members and by WOCCU's Credit Union members so they can be further identified[24] by their coop ethical consumerism label. The marque is used today by thousands of cooperatives in more than a hundred countries.[25]

The .coop domain and Co-operative Marque were designed as a new symbol of the global cooperative movement and its collective identity in the digital age. The Co-operative Marque and domain is reserved just for co-operatives, credit unions and organisations that support co-operatives; is distinguished by its ethical badge that subscribes to the seven ICA Cooperative Principles and Co-op Values. Co-ops can be identified on the Internet through the use of the .coop suffix of internet addresses. Organizations using .coop domain names must adhere to the basic co-op values.

Cooperatives as legal entities
A cooperative is a legal entity owned and democratically controlled by its members. Members often have a close association with the enterprise as producers or consumers of its products or services, or as its employees.[26] The legal entities have a range of social characteristics. Membership is open, meaning that anyone who satisfies certain non-discriminatory conditions may join. Economic benefits are distributed proportionally to each member's level of participation in the cooperative, for instance, by a dividend on sales or purchases, rather than according to capital invested.[27] Cooperatives may be classified as either worker, consumer, producer, purchasing or housing cooperatives.[28] They are distinguished from other forms of incorporation in that profit-making or economic stability are balanced by the interests of the community.[27]

There are specific forms of incorporation for cooperatives in some countries, e.g. Finland[29] and Australia.[30] Cooperatives may take the form of companies limited by shares or by guarantee, partnerships or unincorporated associations. In the UK they may also use the industrial and provident society structure. In the US, cooperatives are often organized as non-capital stock corporations under state-specific cooperative laws. Cooperatives often share their earnings with the membership as a dividends, which are divided among the members according to their participation in the enterprise, such as patronage, instead of according to the value of their capital shareholdings (as is done by a joint stock company).

Economic stability
Main article: Economic stability
Capital and the Debt Trap reports that "cooperatives tend to have a longer life than other types of enterprise, and thus a higher level of entrepreneurial sustainability". This resilience has been attributed to how cooperatives share risks and rewards between members, how they harness the ideas of many and how members have a tangible ownership stake in the business. Additionally, "cooperative banks build up counter-cyclical buffers that function well in case of a crisis," and are less likely to lead members and clients towards a debt trap (p. 216). This is explained by their more democratic governance that reduces perverse incentives and subsequent contributions to economic bubbles.

In Europe
A 2013 report by ILO concluded that cooperative banks outperformed their competitors during the financial crisis of 2007-2008. The cooperative banking sector had 20% market share of the European banking sector, but accounted for only 7 per cent of all the write-downs and losses between the third quarter of 2007 and first quarter of 2011. Cooperative banks were also over-represented in lending to small and medium-sized businesses in all of the 10 countries included in the report.[31]

A 2013 report published by the UK Office for National Statistics showed that in the UK the rate of survival of cooperatives after five years was 80 percent compared with only 41 percent for all other enterprises.[4] A further study found that after ten years 44 percent of cooperatives were still in operation, compared with only 20 percent for all enterprises.

A 2012 report published by The European Confederation of cooperatives and worker-owned enterprises active in industry and services showed that in France and Spain, worker cooperatives and social cooperatives “have been more resilient than conventional enterprises during the economic crisis”.[32]

In North America
In the United States of America
Main article: History of cooperatives in the United States
In a 2007 study by the World Council of Credit Unions, the 5-year survival rate of cooperatives in the United States was found to be 90% in comparison to 3-5% for traditional businesses.[33] Credit unions, a type of cooperative bank, had five times lower failure rate than other banks during the financial crisis[34] and more than doubled lending to small businesses between 2008 - 2016, from $30 billion to $60 billion, while lending to small businesses overall during the same period declined by around $100 billion.[35] Public trust in credit unions stands at 60%, compared to 30% for big banks[36] and small businesses are five times less likely to be dissatisfied with a credit union than with a big bank.[37]

In Canada
Main article: History of cooperatives in Canada
A 2010 report by the Ministry of Economic Development, Innovation and Export in Québec found that the five-year survival rate and 10-year survival rate of cooperatives in Québec to be 62% and 44% respectively compared to 35% and 20% for conventional firms.[38] Another report by the BC-Alberta Social economy Research Alliance found that the three-year survival rate of cooperatives in Alberta to be 81.5% in comparison to 48% for traditional firms.[39] Another report by the aforementioned Research Alliance found that in British Columbia, the 5-year survival rates for cooperatives between 2000 and 2010 to be 66.6% in comparison to conventional businesses that had 43% and 39% in the years 1984 and 1993 respectively[39]

Types of cooperatives

Co-op City in The Bronx, New York City is the largest cooperative housing development in the world, with 55,000 people.[40]

The two largest supermarkets chains in Switzerland, Migros and Coop, are cooperatives. The third largest bank, Raiffeisen, is a cooperative as well.
The top 300 largest cooperatives were listed in 2007 by the International Co-operative Alliance. 80% were involved in either agriculture, finance, or retail and more than half were in the United States, Italy, or France.

Consumers' cooperative
Main article: Consumers' cooperative
A consumers' cooperative is a business owned by its customers. Members vote on major decisions and elect the board of directors from among their own number. The first of these was set up in 1844 in the North-West of England by 28 weavers who wanted to sell food at a lower price than the local shops.

Retail cooperative
Retail cooperatives are retailers, such as grocery stores, owned by their customers. They should not be confused with retailers' cooperatives, whose members are retailers rather than consumers. In Denmark, Singapore, Italy, and Finland the company with the largest market share in the grocery store sector is a consumer owned cooperative.[41][42][43][44] In Switzerland both the largest and the second largest retailer are consumer owned cooperatives[45].

Housing cooperative
Main articles: Housing cooperative and Building cooperative
A housing cooperative is a legal mechanism for ownership of housing where residents either own shares (share capital co-op) reflecting their equity in the cooperative's real estate, or have membership and occupancy rights in a not-for-profit cooperative (non-share capital co-op), and they underwrite their housing through paying subscriptions or rent.

Housing cooperatives come in three basic equity structures

In market-rate housing cooperatives, members may sell their shares in the cooperative whenever they like for whatever price the market will bear, much like any other residential property. Market-rate co-ops are very common in New York City.
Limited equity housing cooperatives, which are often used by affordable housing developers, allow members to own some equity in their home, but limit the sale price of their membership share to that which they paid.
Group equity or zero-equity housing cooperatives do not allow members to own equity in their residences and often have rental agreements well below market rates.
Members of a building cooperative (in Britain known as a self-build housing cooperative) pool resources to build housing, normally using a high proportion of their own labor. When the building is finished, each member is the sole owner of a homestead, and the cooperative may be dissolved.

This collective effort was at the origin of many of Britain's building societies, which however, developed into "permanent" mutual savings and loan organisations, a term which persisted in some of their names (such as the former Leeds Permanent). Nowadays such self-building may be financed using a step-by-step mortgage which is released in stages as the building is completed. The term may also refer to worker cooperatives in the building trade.

Utility cooperative
Main article: Utility cooperative
A utility cooperative is a type of consumers' cooperative that is tasked with the delivery of a public utility such as electricity, water or telecommunications services to its members. Profits are either reinvested into infrastructure or distributed to members in the form of "patronage" or "capital credits", which are essentially dividends paid on a member's investment into the cooperative. In the United States, many cooperatives were formed to provide rural electrical and telephone service as part of the New Deal. See Rural Utilities Service.

In the case of electricity, cooperatives are generally either generation and transmission (G&T) co-ops that create and send power via the transmission grid or local distribution co-ops that gather electricity from a variety of sources and send it along to homes and businesses.

In Tanzania, it has been proven that the cooperative method is helpful in water distribution. When the people are involved with their own water, they care more because the quality of their work has a direct effect on the quality of their water.

Credit unions, cooperative banking and co-operative insurance
Main articles: Cooperative banking and Credit union

The Co-operative Bank's head office in Manchester. The statue in front is of Robert Owen, a pioneer in the cooperative movement.
Credit unions are cooperative financial institutions that are owned and controlled by their members. Credit unions provide the same financial services as banks but are considered not-for-profit organizations and adhere to cooperative principles.

Credit unions originated in mid-19th-century Germany through the efforts of pioneers Franz Herman Schulze'Delitzsch and Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen. The concept of financial cooperatives crossed the Atlantic at the turn of the 20th century, when the caisse populaire movement was started by Alphonse Desjardins in Quebec, Canada. In 1900, from his home in Lévis, he opened North America's first credit union, marking the beginning of the Mouvement Desjardins. Eight years later, Desjardins provided guidance for the first credit union in the United States, where there are now about 7,950 active status federally insured credit unions, with almost 90 million members and more than $679 billion on deposit.

Cooperative banking networks, which were nationalized in Eastern Europe, work now as real cooperative institutions. In Poland, the SKOK (Spółdzielcze Kasy Oszczędnościowo-Kredytowe) network has grown to serve over 1 million members via 13,000 branches, and is larger than the country's largest conventional bank.

In Scandinavia, there is a clear distinction between mutual savings banks (Sparbank) and true credit unions (Andelsbank).

The oldest cooperative banks in Europe, based on the ideas of Friedrich Raiffeisen, are joined together in the 'Urgenossen'.

Worker cooperative
Main article: Worker cooperative
A worker cooperative or producer cooperative is a cooperative that is owned and democratically controlled by its "worker-owners". There are no outside owners in a "pure" workers' cooperative, only the workers own shares of the business, though hybrid forms exist in which consumers, community members or capitalist investors also own some shares. In practice, control by worker-owners may be exercised through individual, collective or majority ownership by the workforce, or the retention of individual, collective or majority voting rights (exercised on a one-member one-vote basis). A worker cooperative, therefore, has the characteristic that the majority of its workforce owns shares, and the majority of shares are owned by the workforce. Membership is not always compulsory for employees, but generally only employees can become members either directly (as shareholders) or indirectly through membership of a trust that owns the company.

The impact of political ideology on practice constrains the development of cooperatives in different countries. In India, there is a form of workers' cooperative which insists on compulsory membership for all employees and compulsory employment for all members. That is the form of the Indian Coffee Houses. This system was advocated by the Indian communist leader A. K. Gopalan. In places like the UK, common ownership (indivisible collective ownership) was popular in the 1970s. Cooperative Societies only became legal in Britain after the passing of Slaney's Act in 1852. In 1865 there were 651 registered societies with a total membership of well over 200,000. There are now more than 400 worker cooperatives in the UK, Suma Wholefoods being the largest example with a turnover of £24 million.

Business and employment cooperative
Main article: Business and employment co-operative
Business and employment cooperatives (BECs) are a subset of worker cooperatives that represent a new approach to providing support to the creation of new businesses.

Like other business creation support schemes, BEC's enable budding entrepreneurs to experiment with their business idea while benefiting from a secure income. The innovation BECs introduce is that once the businesses are established, the entrepreneurs are not forced to leave and set up independently, but can stay and become full members of the cooperative. The micro-enterprises then combine to form one multi-activity enterprise whose members provide a mutually supportive environment for each other.[citation needed]

BECs thus provide budding business people with an easy transition from inactivity to self-employment, but in a collective framework. They open up new horizons for people who have ambition but who lack the skills or confidence needed to set off entirely on their own – or who simply want to carry on an independent economic activity but within a supportive group context.[citation needed]

Purchasing cooperative
Main article: Purchasing cooperative
A "purchasing cooperative" is a type of cooperative arrangement, often among businesses, to agree to aggregate demand to get lower prices from selected suppliers. Retailers' cooperatives are a form of purchasing cooperative.

Major purchasing cooperatives include Best Western, ACE Hardware and CCA Global Partners.

Agricultural service cooperatives provide various services to their individual farming members, and to agricultural production cooperatives, where production resources such as land or machinery are pooled and members farm jointly.[46]

Agricultural supply cooperatives aggregate purchases, storage, and distribution of farm inputs for their members. By taking advantage of volume discounts and utilizing other economies of scale, supply cooperatives bring down members' costs. Supply cooperatives may provide seeds, fertilizers, chemicals, fuel, and farm machinery. Some supply cooperatives also operate machinery pools that provide mechanical field services (e.g., plowing, harvesting) to their members. Known examples include the cranberry-and-grapefruit cooperative Ocean Spray, collective farms in socialist states and the kibbutzim in Israel.

Producer cooperative
Producer cooperatives have producers as their members, and provide services involved in moving a product from the point of production to the point of consumption. Unlike worker cooperatives, they allow businesses with multiple employees to join.

Agricultural marketing cooperatives operate a series of interconnected activities involving planning production, growing and harvesting, grading, packing, transport, storage, food processing, distribution and sale. Agricultural marketing cooperatives are often formed to promote specific commodities.

Commercially successful agricultural marketing cooperatives include India's Amul (dairy products), which is the world's largest producer of milk and milk products, Dairy Farmers of America (dairy products) in the United States, and Malaysia's FELDA (palm oil).

Producer cooperatives may also be organized by small businesses for pooling their savings and accessing capital, for acquiring supplies and services, or for marketing products and services.

Producer cooperatives among urban artisans were developed in the mid-19th-century in Germany by Franz Hermann Schulze-Delitzsch, who also promoted changes to the legal system (the Prussian Genossenschaftsgesetz of 1867) that facilitated such cooperatives.[47] At about the same time, Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen developed similar cooperatives among rural people.[48]

Multi-stakeholder cooperatives
Multi-stakeholder cooperatives include representation from different stakeholder groups, such as both consumers and workers.

Social cooperative
Cooperatives traditionally combine social benefit interests with capitalistic property-right interests. Cooperatives achieve a mix of social and capital purposes by democratically governing distribution questions by and between equal but not controlling members. Democratic oversight of decisions to equitably distribute assets and other benefits means capital ownership is arranged in a way for social benefit inside the organization. External societal benefit is also encouraged by incorporating the operating-principle of cooperation between co-operatives. In the final year of the 20th century, cooperatives banded together to establish a number of social enterprise agencies which have moved to adopt the multi-stakeholder cooperative model. In the years 1994–2009 the EU and its member nations gradually revised national accounting systems to "make visible" the increasing contribution of social economy organizations.[49]

Main article: Social cooperative
A particularly successful form of multi-stakeholder cooperative is the Italian "social cooperative", of which some 11,000 exist.[50] "Type A" social cooperatives bring together providers and beneficiaries of a social service as members. "Type B" social cooperatives bring together permanent workers and previously unemployed people who wish to integrate into the labor market. They are legally defined as follows:

no more than 80% of profits may be distributed, interest is limited to the bond rate and dissolution is altruistic (assets may not be distributed)
the cooperative has legal personality and limited liability
the objective is the general benefit of the community and the social integration of citizens
those of type B integrate disadvantaged people into the labour market. The categories of disadvantage they target may include physical and mental disability, drug and alcohol addiction, developmental disorders and problems with the law. They do not include other factors of disadvantage such as unemployment, race, sexual orientation or abuse.
type A cooperatives provide health, social or educational services
various categories of stakeholder may become members, including paid employees, beneficiaries, volunteers (up to 50% of members), financial investors and public institutions. In type B cooperatives at least 30% of the members must be from the disadvantaged target groups
voting is one person one vote
New generation cooperative
New generation cooperatives (NGCs) are an adaptation of traditional cooperative structures to modern, capital intensive industries. They are sometimes described as a hybrid between traditional co-ops and limited liability companies or public benefit corporations. They were first developed in California and spread and flourished in the US Mid-West in the 1990s.[51] They are now common in Canada where they operate primarily in agriculture and food services, where their primary purpose is to add value to primary products. For example, producing ethanol from corn, pasta from durum wheat, or gourmet cheese from goat's milk. A representative example of an operating NGC is the Fourth Estate (association), a global multi-stakeholder NGC journalism association.

Other
Platform cooperative
Main article: Platform cooperative
A platform cooperative, or platform co-op, is a cooperatively owned, democratically governed business that establishes a computing platform, and uses a protocol, website or mobile app to facilitate the sale of goods and services. Platform cooperatives are an alternative to venture capital-funded platforms insofar as they are owned and governed by those who depend on them most—workers, users, and other relevant stakeholders. Proponents of platform cooperativism claim that, by ensuring the financial and social value of a platform circulate among these participants, platform cooperatives will bring about a more equitable and fair digitally mediated economy in contrast with the extractive models of corporate intermediaries. Platform cooperatives differ from traditional cooperatives not only due to their use of digital technologies, but also by their contribution to the commons for the purpose of fostering an equitable social and economic landscape.

Volunteer cooperative
A volunteer cooperative is a cooperative that is run by and for a network of volunteers, for the benefit of a defined membership or the general public, to achieve some goal. Depending on the structure, it may be a collective or mutual organization, which is operated according to the principles of cooperative governance. The most basic form of volunteer-run cooperative is a voluntary association. A lodge or social club may be organized on this basis. A volunteer-run co-op is distinguished from a worker cooperative in that the latter is by definition employee-owned, whereas the volunteer cooperative is typically a non-stock corporation, volunteer-run consumer co-op or service organization, in which workers and beneficiaries jointly participate in management decisions and receive discounts on the basis of sweat equity.

Federal or secondary cooperative
Main article: Cooperative Federation
In some cases, cooperative societies find it advantageous to form cooperative federations in which all of the members are themselves cooperatives. Historically, these have predominantly come in the form of cooperative wholesale societies, and cooperative unions. Cooperative federations are a means through which cooperative societies can fulfill the sixth Rochdale Principle, cooperation among cooperatives, with the ICA noting that "Cooperatives serve their members most effectively and strengthen the cooperative movement by working together through local, regional and international structures."

Cooperative union
A second common form of cooperative federation is a cooperative union, whose objective (according to Gide) is "to develop the spirit of solidarity among societies and... in a word, to exercise the functions of a government whose authority, it is needless to say, is purely moral." Co-operatives UK and the International Cooperative Alliance are examples of such arrangements.

Cooperative political movements
In some countries with a strong cooperative sector, such as the UK, cooperatives may find it advantageous to form political groupings to represent their interests. The British Co-operative Party, the Canadian Cooperative Commonwealth Federation and United Farmers of Alberta are prime examples of such arrangements.

UK
The British cooperative movement formed the Co-operative Party in the early 20th century to represent members of consumers' cooperatives in Parliament, which was the first of its kind. The Co-operative Party now has a permanent electoral pact with the Labour Party meaning someone cannot be a member if they support a party other than Labour. Plaid Cymru also run a credit union that is constituted as a co-operative, called the 'Plaid Cymru Credit Union'.[52] UK cooperatives retain a strong market share in food retail, insurance, banking, funeral services, and the travel industry in many parts of the country, although this is still significantly lower than other business models.[53]

Leader of the British Labour Party Jeremy Corbyn has publicly expressed support for worker cooperatives.[54]

Philippines
The Cooperative NATCCO Party (Coop-NATCCO) is a party-list in the Philippines which serves as the electoral wing of the National Confederation of Cooperatives (NATCCO). Coop-NATCCO has represented the Philippine co-operative sector in the Philippine 11th Congress since 1998.

Women in cooperatives
Main article: Women in cooperatives
Since cooperatives are based on values like self-help, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity, they can play a particularly strong role in empowering women, especially in developing countries.[55] Cooperatives allow women who might have been isolated and working individually to band together and create economies of scale as well as increase their own bargaining power in the market. In statements in advance of International Women's Day in early 2013, President of the International Cooperative Alliance, Dame Pauline Green, said, "Cooperative businesses have done so much to help women onto the ladder of economic activity. With that comes community respect, political legitimacy and influence."

However, despite the supposed democratic structure of cooperatives and the values and benefits shared by members, due to gender norms on the traditional role of women, and other instilled cultural practices that sidestep attempted legal protections, women suffer a disproportionately low representation in cooperative membership around the world. Representation of women through active membership (showing up to meetings and voting), as well as in leadership and managerial positions is even lower.[56]

Cooperatives in popular culture
As of 2012, the number of memberships in cooperatives reached one billion,[57] and so the organizational structure and movement has seeped into popular culture.

In the HBO drama television series The Wire, several drug dealers create a democratic alliance called the New Day Co-Op with the interests of cutting back on violence and increasing business.

Co-opoly: The Game of Cooperatives is a popular board game played around the world that challenges players to work together to start and run a cooperative and overcome major hurdles.[58][59]
