This podcast challenges you to rethink the co-op. 

It's not just some hippy thing, and within the Anti-Fragile Wealth Production Engine, it's not the same as "the REI Co-op," which is little more than a marketing program which biases rewards to the most loyal customers.

Imagine a neighborhood co-op where benefits might include:

• assistance launching and sustaining a home-based microbusiness that could help generate $400/month in additional revenue
• vocational educational services designed to help these same microbusinesses expand their operations (and revenue)
• access to local and high-trust child care
• access to low-cost and high-quality health care (1/3 the cost of ACA, without the need to disclose pre-existing conditions)
• basic income (for those in need)

Imagine: instead of making a living, you can make a life.

Wait, is this communism?

As discussed in this Podcast, and detailed in this article: no, it is not.

In this episode, Ruth Glendinning and Kent Dahlgren describe how private-sector best practices, existing technology, and currently-available wisdom capital can activate some extremely innovative solutions that will reinvigorate our communities, from the ground-up.
