well, except for the non-existant owner wages are fine

More sense to allow it in a capitalistic system, which it does

That's why freedom is so good

why doesnt it make sense?

there is litterally more freedom to coops than an enterprise

More sense to allow it to happen than enfore it for everyone

since the decisions are democratic

I want a freedom to choose a coop OR go for myself

Only capitalim provides that

capitalism allows you to avoid capitalism, as in coops

right

Just a daily reminder that 2008 was caused by the Federal Reserve

rip cant find it, so this is a pretty lack-luster argument, but, if you wanna take my word on it: Coops have higher wages and productivity along with lifespan

@Deleted User don't forget <:porky:315615014751043588> on the FED

The biggest corporations are not coop, that's for sure

you're right there

tbh I love when people blame laissez-faire capitalism for housing crisis and even occupy the wrong place

though I can't tell you why

though mondragon has 75k employees

mon-saint?

@ClibtardMario how can you even blame it on that? we haven't had laissez-faire

@Sampuka Several people did (usually disciples of Paul Krugman, unironically)

And good to know we have a person that knows US economic backgrounds here

I think I would know if laissez-faire was a thing

I mean, one could classify US from 1776 to 1860 as laissez-faire, even though I call it classical liberal

1776-1913 best period ever ngl

don't know enough about the US to talk about that

You can guess enough looking at this:

too grainy to see years but yeh I get you

lemme see a zoomed chart

here you go

damn

tbh bring me back to US 1843

Federal revenue below 1% of the GDP like wtf

Hardly laissez-faire, but yeah early us was pretty good tbh

Outside of the slavery and whatnot

I'll risk myself to say slavery was a fashion of the time

At one point in time that was the case in most parts of the world

unfortunately
