Abstract

This book was the result of an urgent need to make a modest contribution to the successful “birth” of Cuba’s new cooperative movement. When the Draft Economic and Social Policy Guidelines of the Sixth Congress of the Communist Party of Cuba were issued in November 2010 and they mentioned cooperatives as one of the main forms that non-state employment is expected to take, the Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. Memorial Center in Havana asked me to undertake this task. The Spanish version of this book was launched in March 2011 and a second edition is already in print. In the current context, we consider it opportune and necessary to help educate people about a form of self-managed socioeconomic organization whose principles, basic characteristics, and potential are unknown in Cuba, and which all signs seem to indicate will play an important role in our new societal model.
