This
book is a call to action by a journalist who has monitored and chronicled
political and economic changes for the past three decades. The first
chapter offers an historical and cultural perspective for why cooperatives
can revive rural America. The second and third chapters recall personal
experience in both studying and tripping over irreversible changes
in agriculture and world markets.
The middle three chapters explore successful cooperative in the Netherlands,
in America, and alternative American communities that continue to
succeed by maintaining a strong cooperative spirit. The final three
chapters look ahead, at the technology and knowledge transfers between
countries, at the tools American states are using to promote economic
development, and at the creative explosion of new cooperative ventures.
