We ourselves have no theory, only suggestions. First, believing there's a cooperative solution to any cooperative problem, Jaques's piece should kick off The Great Cooperative Dialogue. In this Dialogue, our movement's goal might be debated. We think it is, in a word, freedom. Now, if we're lucky, we work for wages to buy commodities to meet needs.
Meeting needs is a peripheral side-effect.
Capital can't buy concrete freedom. Instead, humans can and ought to replace capital. Yes, but only to replace capital itself. For this reason we think all credit sources outside the cooperative movement should be avoided, even the National Cooperative Bank. Next on the Cooperative Conference agenda might be a global version of the Caja.
