It is a system upending nature and society, causing many to live and work in despair. So far, the left has been incapable of inspiring a practical challenge to it. In \u003ci\u003eWorker Cooperatives and Deep Democracy, \u003c\/i\u003e Vishwas Satgar and Michelle Williams map a new transformative politics arising from inspiring worker cooperative systems that advance planetary care from below and that have the potential to undermine the capitalist status quo. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e Based on over a decade of research across 15 countries, the authors examine case studies that explore transformative approaches to social reproduction, public power, nature, and territorial expansion in opposition to global hegemonic power. They also uncover the power of solidarities engendering emancipatory, utopian imaginaries in the global north and south. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e They show how, against all the odds, people are experimenting with deep democracy and building systems of care to live differently and exit the planetary crisis.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Vishwas Satgar, Michelle Williams\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 0745351573\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9780745351575\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Pluto Press (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 12\/20\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 272\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback","brand":"Vishwas Satgar","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":46807210918143,"sku":"9780745351575","price":26.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_f3b93f9d-cfb5-44d6-98d5-02bcdae3128a.jpg?v=1745378839","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/worker-cooperatives-and-deep-democracy-vishwas-satgar-9780745351575","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
