The Platform Cooperativism Handbook

The Platform Cooperativism Handbook is a guide that explores the concept of platform cooperatives—businesses owned and governed by their users, like workers or customers. Unlike traditional companies focused on profit, platform cooperatives prioritize community, fairness, and collaboration. The handbook provides insights, case studies, and practical tools for building these cooperative ventures, particularly in the digital economy, where platforms like ride-sharing or food delivery dominate. It aims to empower individuals to create sustainable alternatives that serve their needs, ensuring shared benefits rather than wealth concentration in a few hands.
