The Co-operative City
From: Civilizing the State
$1.40
The Co-operative City begins by looking at Spain in the twentieth century, leading up to the financial crisis of 2009-2011. The chapter then focuses on the 15-M movement as an experiment in direct democracy, and traces its impact on Spanish politics and government over time, particularly in Barcelona and particularly on the social economy and participatory democracy.
