| Abstract: | The paper addresses the phenomenon of economic disembeddedness as characteristic of capitalist economies, and social policy as a separate phenomenon seen as a means to correct dysfunctions caused by the first. Cooperatives are presented as a corporate entity where the subordination of the economic to the social (embeddedness) is inherent in their constitution. Examples used range from abuses of cooperatives as "soft" facades to serve "hard" systems, to genuine instances of participatory development and economic democracy. |
