Out now - Winter 2025 -  Special issue: Worker co-operatives and concern for community

It is with thanks to our guest editors - Malu Villela, Eleonore Perrin, François Deblangy, and Emre Sahin - that we bring you a bumper special issue to end the year. Inspired by Principle 7, concern for community, this special issue investigates the role played by worker co-operatives in their local communities by exploring their core mission of putting both the direct membership and local communities before profit.
