House of the Mondragon: What happens when the world's biggest worker co-op expands abroad?
Listen now
Description
Dru is joined by Carmen Marcuello and Anjel Errasti, authors of some interesting publications about Mondragon's expansion abroad. We talk about why the cooperative model hasn't taken root in Mondragon's overseas operations, and what makes Mondragon different from multinational conglomerates of similar size that are not owned and democratically managed by their workers.   Carmen Marcuello is a professor of Business Management at the University of Zaragoza. Anjel Errasti is a professor at the Institute of Cooperative Law and Social Economy, University of the Basque Country.   Read their 2018 paper here: https://journals.sagepub.com/doi/abs/10.1177/0019793918779575   * * *   Podcast links: https://anchor.fm/halfpastcapitalism   Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/halfpastcapitalism   Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/druojajay   Half Past Blog: http://halfpast.dru.ca/
