The Case for FairShares : A new model for social enterprise development and the strengthening of the social and solidarity economy
Overview
Imagine a society in which every adult is entitled to co-own the organisations on which they, their family and their community depends... The FairShares Model is an approach to creating networks of solidarity enterprises. Every adult can become a member-owner, whether a founding entrepreneur, supplier, employee, customer, user or social investor. This book clearly sets out why we need FairShares, how to provide FairShares education and the legal templates for a new generation of social enterprises that apply FairShares values and principles.
