Critics Review
‘The Economics of Worker Cooperatives, edited by John Pencavel, is therefore a timely and important collection of theoretical and empirical pieces of research. Pencavel’s collection includes important classic writings on worker cooperatives and related business forms such as some collectives, as well as more contemporary commentaries and analyses. The range of selections is quite balanced overall, especially in addressing risks as well as advantages observed in the financial performance of worker cooperatives… The Economics of Worker Cooperatives is an excellent volume for anyone who wishes to become familiar with the array of economic issues implicated in worker cooperatives.’ – Work, Employment and Society
