A coop is a degenerate form of what has been called a Fair Shares Commons[0] company structure.

Why a "degenerate form"? This just looks like a co-op that isn't locked to a single set of stakeholders (worker, customer), as the owner group.

  • Exactly (mostly).

    Coop is historically a two interest cooperative structure (business+customer/employee/producer)

    This model generalizes two to N and formalizes it.
