I’m told the speech says something about the benefits of cooperation in the creative commons and Free and Open Source Software.

I can’t see what you actually said because the PDF doesn’t load in Free and Open Source Software – it’s some sort of locked PDF.

Any chance you can get that fixed, please?

for a slightly different take on Ostrom have a look here http://another-green-world.blogspot.com/2009/11/elinor-ostrom-has-transformed-economics.html

The very influential Cuban environmental activist Roberto Perez told me that Ostrom’s ideas were behind economic reform in Cuba, Ostrom’s defence of the commons is as much about challenging the market as calling for a small state.

Mr Mayo: The ‘Independent’ op-ed on co-operatives was very interesting, especially on co-ops as correctives for monopoly capitalism and the ‘too-big-to-fail’ phenomenon. The postscript says that this is an excerpt: where can one access the full text?

Muhammad Yunus’ book, Creating a World Without Poverty, doesn’t really make a case *against* the movement. Apparently I’ve still not posted my review of it on my site. It will appear there in the next couple of days.

Ed, It’s great to see taking the helm at Co-operatives UK, and very refreshing to see what looks like a new era of openness and willingess to engage. I’m also interested to note that you link to Roger Darlington’s blog. could we be seeing Co-operatives UK taking action to promote cooperative solutions to the challenge of next-gen broadband in the UK, a la OnsNet?
