People-Centred Businesses: Co-Operatives, Mutuals and the Idea of Membership - Hardcover
by J. Birchall (Author)
So what is a member-owned business? What does it look like? How can we distinguish it from an investor-owned business? The crucial distinction is between a business that is people-centred, and one that is money-centred. This book explores the growing number of companies which use this model and their wider significance in society.
