The Cooperative Movement: Time to Come Together
Monday 22nd May
In Brazil, since the 2009 economic crash, there have been over 100,000 new cooperatives established. In Argentina, for example, the majority of the petrol stations are owned and run by cooperatives, but on the back of the private takeover and crisis within the cooperative Bank, the movement in the UK appears to have all but collapsed. How did this come about, and in the face of a changing and challenging economic period could co-ops be the answer? The people who came together to create Naked Lunch a cooperatively owned Café on Smithdown Road certainly think so.
Tony Webster – Professor of History at Northumbria University, His research interests are in British imperial and business history, and the history of the co-operative movement. Tony Co-wrote Building Co-operation: A Business History of the Co-operative Group 1863-2013
This is in partnership with Naked Lunch.
