cooperativismo

Cooperativismo, or cooperativism, is an economic and social philosophy that promotes the idea of cooperative enterprises. In this model, individuals come together to form cooperatives—businesses owned and operated by their members. These members share the profits, decisions, and responsibilities. The aim is to empower people, encourage mutual support, and create more equitable outcomes compared to traditional business models. Cooperatives can be found in various sectors, such as agriculture, retail, and services, promoting collective welfare while fostering community development and sustainability.
