Thanks to @LeoSammallahti for this. It looks like a must-read for people interested in the bankruptcy of Fagor Electrodomesticos. I glanced at the conclusions, which strike me as a version of the "blame the workers" argument that some at Mondragon have made. BUT eager to have my prejudices challenged...

Okay so the chapter on #Mondragón in Gibson-Graham's Postcapitalist Politics is excellent. Sober, sympathetic, nuanced, critical, insightful. Of course it was written before the 2008 crisis when the consequences of "coopitalist" internationalization strategies in #Fagor and, in a diff. way, #Eroski became clear. The weakest element of their analysis is the rank-and-file, shop floor reality, but this is a great introduction to Mondragón and issues of #cooperativism.
