Cooperatives are formed to help in community revitalization and worker productivity and contentment. Decentralized, worker-owned, and socially conscious co-ops are a useful alternative to single-ownership business. A cooperatively run bank oversees businesses and gets them started, and there are no redundancies: workers are re-trained and new jobs are found in other expanding cooperative endeavors.
