New Book: The Emerging Cooperative Economy
Available now through your local bookstore or on Amazon
Moving toward a cooperative world economy in the post-Trump era
Why is our human-dominated world so deeply flawed by the powerlessness and uncertainty that most of us feel, by the dramatic differences in the quality of our lives, and by the damage that we inflict on our physical environment?
In The Emerging Cooperative Economy, author E.G. Nadeau makes the case that we can transition to an international economy based on increasing political and economic democracy, meeting human needs, and sustaining the environment. This new book presents a path for moving toward an economy that puts the well-being of the many ahead of the wealth and power of a few.
Advance Praise
“Your book is amazing! It is a sweeping look at how we arrived at today, and it presents a blueprint for survival – not just survival, but a world with hope, rooted in a cooperative economy.”
Mark Lefebvre, Former President and CEO of Stanton & Lee Publishers
“E.G. Nadeau’s call for growing alternatives to our current economic order is . . . an urgent call to action.”

The Cooperative Society Project
The Cooperative Society Project is a nonprofit initiative begun in 2015. The Project has two primary goals:
- To analyze the hypothesis that humans may be on the threshold of a new historical stage: one characterized by cooperation, democracy, the equitable distribution of resources, and a sustainable relationship with nature.
- To make recommendations for how we can increase the likelihood of moving toward a more cooperative society during the next several decades.
The means for carrying out these goals are through the book, periodic reports, this website, newsletters, videos, articles, and social media. The Cooperative Society: The Next Stage of Human History, Second Edition, was published in October 2018 and will be revised every few years, at least through 2030. The Cooperative Society 2020 Report updates the information presented in the book and makes revised recommendations on how to make our world a better place to live.
For further information, please see our periodic newsletters and additional publications. Also, The Cooperative Solution book is now available as a free pdf.
