MÉS EINES PER FER FRONT AL PROBLEMA DE L’HABITATGE

Avui presentem una proposició de llei per fomentar i regular les cooperatives d’habitatge.

Una opció d’habitatge que no existeix a Andorra però que pensem que sí podria ser-hi viable.

🏘️ Trying to get a housing co-op off the ground?

We can lend up to £150,000 from our own funds and we work with other lenders to provide much larger loans. Together we can offer a unique financial package to help housing co-operatives buy property.

Christiaens T (2026) Plebeian cooperativism: Reconciling workplace democracy with the iron law of oligarchy. In: Political Studies.

New article about #cooperatives, Michel's iron law of oligarchy and the quest and struggles for workplace democracy. (open access)

doi.org/10.1177/0032...

Abstract

Worker cooperatives are often lauded as the ideal institutional form of workplace democracy. While the traditional firm subjects workers to hierarchical authority, cooperatives establish workers as owners and managers of their own venture. However, since 1911 Robert Michels popularised the phrase of an “iron law of oligarchy” to argue how nominally democratic institutions, like worker cooperatives, often fall back into hierarchical patterns. I claim that this criticism against workplace democracy is based on a misreading of Michels’ philosophy and a misrepresentation of today’s empirical research on cooperative management. Both present worker cooperatives as hybrid institutions torn between oligarchic and democratic pulls. By counterbalancing tendencies towards a concentration of power at the top with countervailing institutions that help rank-and-file workers contest managerial decision-making, worker cooperatives can safeguard themselves against degeneration and the iron law of oligarchy. This proposal of instituting workplace democracy through constant anti-hierarchical conflict, I call “plebeian cooperativism.

During Italy's 2023 floods, a farm workers co-op said: flood my fields, save the city. They sacrificed their harvest to protect Ravenna. That's what co-ops do. https://youtu.be/mV0zXfNI9Vo #Cooperatives #RMEOC
