The Mondragon Cooperative System
www.sfworlds.com/linkworld/mondragon.html
After many years of study and contemplation, I've come to the conclusion that the
majority of the world's social, economic and political problems find a nexus in how
capital resources are localized and democratized. It is my view that a good society has
most of its capital locally owned with the distribution of it in as many hands as possible.
Profits to capital should be recycled in the local community. Jobs in a community should
not be held hostage to the potential capital flight.

"Nothing differentiates people as much as their respective attitudes to the circumstances
in which they live. Those who opt to make history and change the course of events
themselves have an advantage over those who decide to wait passively for the results of
the change".
Father Don José María Arizmendiarrieta
Conceptual Creator of the Mondragon Cooperative System
Mondragon Cooperative Corporation
One of the best current models for how capital might be localized is the Mondragon
system of cooperatives in Mondragon, Spain. The Mondragon system is noted for its
democratic worker-owner structure and the economic success that it has enjoyed over the
many decades of existence.
