An Italian online jounal focuses on cooperatives in the United States.
"In the Unites States of America, socialism and communism are considered by many to be bad, taboo words, but cooperation exists, and "worker-owned cooperatives" existed and prospered for many years to this day, thanks also to the spirit of enterpreneurship that is widespread and to the practice of democracy, practice that is tought at school, starting from the elementary grade. Cooperatives are part of the self-help tradition of America. Cooperatives are businesses organized by people to provide needed goods and services."
