The Culture of Co-Operatives

Democratic workplaces, community owned assets and credit unions. Co-operatives offer a range of solutions to the issues facing us today. But what are they exactly? Erin Morgan of the Ontario Co-Operative Association joins host Jessa McLean to discuss the basics of co-ops, their roots and why we could use a whole lot more of them. Whether it be credit unions, co-operative housing or even utilities - a more co-operative approach provides more possibilities for a cultural shift away from Capitalism.
