Published May 17, 2012

Abstract

For the last 14 years, John Restakis has been Executive Director for the B.C. Cooperative Association in Vancouver. The BCCA is the umbrella association for the co-op and credit union movement in B.C. Its parent association has sister organizations right across the country for the other provinces. I worked with John over the last 5 years as part of the BC-Alberta Social Economy Research node (BALTA). We sat down to discuss his new book, Humanizing the Economy: Cooperatives in an Age of Capital.
