摘要
In tumultuous times of financial crisis, capitalism is increasingly challenged as a desirable economic system. But are there any realistic alternatives to capitalism? Using theory and empirical research, this article offers one model of alternative business organization, focusing on not-for-profit cooperatives. If capitalism's distinctive features are private property, profit, and (intra-market) competition, cooperatives can, if designed intelligently, function without these features.
