kooperatiivsust
Kooperatiivsus, sometimes referred to as cooperativism, is an economic and social philosophy that advocates for voluntary associations of individuals united to achieve common economic, social, and cultural goals. These associations, known as cooperatives, are democratically controlled by their members, who are also typically users or beneficiaries of the cooperative's services. The core principles of cooperation include voluntary and open membership, democratic member control, member economic participation, autonomy and independence, education, training, and information, cooperation among cooperatives, and concern for community.
Cooperatives operate across a wide range of sectors, including agriculture, finance, housing, retail, and worker production.
The emphasis on democratic control means that each member typically has one vote, regardless of their level
