Books by Richard C. Williams

Empirical evidence shows that cooperation works better than competition and that cooperatives succeed more often than standard corporations. Poverty is actually eliminated through a combination of microfinance and cooperation. This book provides a vision of true globalization and a just and sustainable world. The 'how-to' is right here.

Surveys the history of the cooperative movement from its origins in the 18th century and deals with the theory of cooperation, as contrasted with the "Standard Economic Model", based on competition. This book contains the results of field studies of a number of successful cooperatives both in the developed and developing world.
