The GFC showed the limitaons of business based on short-
termism and monopoly nance. The Red Tory, Blue Labour
debate suggests a new polical consensus based on social
reform and a macro-economic alternave that serves the needs
of all; with co-ops and mutuals, the star pupils of Big Society
anddevoluon.
Back home, theres a quieter evoluon. Aer decades on the
fringe of public percepon, the co-op is making a comeback.
Communies have built dynamic businesses in health and
renewable energy; credit unions have been anointed the h
pillar for providing the banking market with its compeve
dynamic; and our largest co-op businesses deliver reliably
and
protably against a backdrop of market doom.
Join us for a mely debate about why a people-centred
approach to business is in the naonal interest. Three sector
leaders discuss how their business models reinvigorate
communies, boost market compeon and provide scale,
eciency and innovaon for small business.
