Cooperative Development Institute: Northeast Center for Cooperative Business

In the March 1, 2010 edition of The Nation, Democracy Collaborative researcher-writer-activists Gar Alperovitz, Ted Howard, and Thad Williamson present the ground-breaking work of the Evergreen Co-operative model, and speculate on how the model could be deployed in other cities hard-hit by the economic crisis.

Could the Cleveland Evergreen co-op model be a candidate for Barack Obama's new Social Innovation Fund?

The model has gotten a lot of play, with stories in TIME and The Economist, as well as Yes! magazine.
