Description

FUNDAMENTALS OF CO-OPERATION : This textbook, "Fundamentals of Co-operation," is meticulously designed to provide a comprehensive and accessible introduction to the basic concepts of co-operative organisations. For centuries, co-operative enterprises have demonstrated their capacity to foster economic empowerment, build strong communities, and address market failures by prioritising member needs over pure profit maximisation. Their core principles of self-help, self-responsibility, democracy, equality, equity, and solidarity are not merely ideals but practical frameworks for sustainable success and social impact.
