have written here before about the Mondragon Cooperative experience in Spain,
and my latest cooperative entrepreneurial project, the Oklahoma Worker
Cooperative Network, <A href="http://www.okie.coop.">http://www.okie.coop.</A>
One of my strategies for peak oil adaptation is to encourage more formation of
worker owned coops, and coops in general, as we likely can’t afford to support
the corporate management aristocracy going forward (this would be the CEOs
making 500 times the ordinary worker’s salary, etc). So we need a better form of
business organization to meet the challenges of peak energy.<BR><BR>A group of
MIT people is presently touring the Mondragon Cooperatives of Spain, and are
blogging about their experience at <A
href="http://colabradio.mit.edu/">http://colabradio.mit.edu/</A> . Read and
think about how this could be adapted for use in our own situation here in
OKC.<BR><BR>Bob Waldrop,
