Britain’s Prime Minister, David Cameron, was the latest politician to turn the spotlight on cooperatives, announcing a few weeks ago that he wants to simplify legislation in the sector to encourage cooperative enterprises. The president of the Alliance of Italian Cooperatives, Luigi Marino, responded promptly...
“It is hugely significant that important countries like Great Britain are seeking in cooperation the ability to create a better economy and have the greatest number of people possible share in market success,” he said.
Just what potential does cooperation hold for “a better economy”? The international conference “Promoting the understanding of cooperatives for a better world” will offer an opportunity to explore this and other issues linked to the cooperative world in a fresh and direct way. On 15 and 16 March, 2012, the conference will bring world-renowned economics experts to Venice, including Romano Prodi, former President of the European Commission and Prime Minister of Italy; Sir Partha Dasgupta, Professor Emeritus of Economics at the University of Cambridge; Pauline Green, President of the International Co-operative, and Luigi Marino.
