Cognitopia: A Federation of Cooperatives
Cognitopia is a federation of hundreds of cooperatives. Constituent cooperatives are employee-owned corporations that span Cognitopia’s Exclaves. Each cooperative has either a commercial focus or infrastructure function.
An example of a very successful federation of cooperatives today, is the Mondragon Corporation in Spain. Mondragon is the parent corporation for over one hundreds other cooperatives with over eighty thousand employee-owners. Mondragon provides commercial products and services across the globe as well as health services and higher education to its employee-owners.
There will be many cooperatives under the auspicious of the Cognitopia Corporation, which provide products or services to the exclaves or as exports to others societies.
Infrastructure cooperatives, such as housings, transportation, or medical cooperatives, will be based in specific exclaves and are responsible for providing services (e.g. health care) and products (e.g. housing) to employee-owners of a specific exclave.
