Description:
In recent years, city governments have begun to help develop worker cooperative businesses in their local economies, a deliberate action to make economic development more inclusive and equitable. The Imagined Economy Project explores municipal approaches to worker co-op development in ten cities, finding it offers potential for the creation of economic opportunity as well as opportunities for cities to learn and refine their own commitments to a more expansive notion of economic development.
