This paper considers how innovative forms of ownership can further the transformation of control of labour and capital. In particular, it focuses on the combination of two forms of ownership - ownership in worker co-operatives and ownership in consumer co-operatives - which can provide new opportunities for successful alternative enterprises. The paper uses the case example of Carrboro, a natural foods co-operative in North Carolina.
