Cooperative economics

Cooperative economics distributes ownership and governance among workers or consumers rather than centralizing both in capital owners, creating structures where profit-sharing aligns individual and collective interests. The practical challenge is scaling cooperatives against competitive pressure from firms that externalize costs; their persistence suggests they solve genuine coordination problems that capitalism handles poorly.
