Building Communities: The Cooperative Way is a comprehensive guide to the cooperative movement, providing a critical analysis of its history, principles, and practice. This book is an essential resource for students, researchers, and practitioners in the field of cooperative studies.

The cooperative movement is a global movement that has been working to build a more just and equitable world for over 150 years. Cooperatives are member-owned and controlled businesses that are operated for the benefit of their members, rather than for profit. Cooperatives exist in all sectors of the economy, from agriculture to finance to housing.

Building Communities: The Cooperative Way provides a comprehensive overview of the cooperative movement, covering its history, principles, and practice. The book also examines the role of cooperatives in community development, economic development, and social justice.

The book is divided into three parts. Part I provides a historical overview of the cooperative movement, from its origins in the early 19th century to its present-day global presence. Part II examines the principles of cooperation, including the Rochdale Principles, the International Cooperative Alliance (ICA) Statement on the Cooperative Identity, and the values of cooperation.

Part III examines the practice of cooperation, including the different types of cooperatives, the governance of cooperatives, and the challenges and opportunities facing the cooperative movement. The book concludes with a discussion of the future of the cooperative movement and its potential to contribute to a more just and equitable world.
