The Mondragon cooperative system, the seventh largest corporation in Spain, lifted the Basque region out of poverty in the years following the Spanish Civil War and now boasts $12 billion in annual revenue. In Italy’s Emilia-Romagna region, cooperatives are responsible for about a third of the gross domestic product.

Are there U.S. communities already applying the lessons from Mondragon and Emilia Romagna?
