Capital and the Debt Trap

"Capital and the Debt Trap" is a scholarly book that examines the impact of the financial crisis on wealth and the role of debt in the economic system. Through the analysis of four case studies on cooperatives, the book provides in-depth insights into the strategies these organizations have developed to withstand the crisis and continue to create wealth. The authors, Claudia Sanchez Bajo and B. Roelants, highlight how cooperatives can serve as alternative economic models that not only address the challenges of the crisis but also demonstrate innovative ways to regulate the economic system. This book is aimed at readers seeking a deeper understanding of the interactions between debt, economy, and social responsibility.
