Réciproque (cooperative organization)

A Réciproque is a type of cooperative organization where members work together to support one another, often by sharing resources, services, or benefits based on mutual agreement. Unlike traditional businesses, Réciproques operate democratically, with members having equal decision-making power. The goal is to promote collective well-being and cooperation rather than profit. Examples include mutual insurance companies or community mutual aid groups, where members contribute and receive support according to their needs and contributions, fostering a sense of shared responsibility and solidarity.
