Principle 5 Yorkshire Co-operative Resource Centre have been working for a while on a new journal all about co-operatives and politics, and they are currently running a crowdfunder to get the first issue printed and a website established.
Co-opolitics is devoted to the political economy of co-operation in Britain. At a time when communities are grappling with automation, the hollowing out of local economies, and a growing sense that the institutions which once sustained everyday life have been lost or sold off, the co-operative tradition has more to offer than ever — but only if we’re prepared to think seriously about what that means in practice. This isn’t a magazine that simply celebrates co-operation; it needs to be honest about the obstacles as much as the possibilities.
Principle 5 would be really grateful for your support.
