What is a Co-op, really?
The Beginner's Guide to Co-ops - Chapter 1: What is a co-op, really?
What is a cooperative? This video breaks it down in plain terms, based on the first chapter of my book Beginner’s Guide to Co-ops: What They Are and Why They Matter. Whether you're completely new to cooperatives or just need a refresher, this explainer sets the foundation for everything that follows—ownership, purpose, democracy, and shared success.
This is part of a larger project called Co-op Evolution, a movement for building people-powered alternatives to capitalism through cooperative structures, local action, and systemic strategy.
