Richard Williams surveys the history of the cooperative movement from its modern origins in the 18th century and deals with the theory of cooperation, as contrasted with the "Standard Economic Model", based on competition. The book analyzes the successes and challenges of the cooperative movement as an alternative to the global neo-colonialism and imperialism that now characterizes free-market capitalist approaches to globalization.

"Empirical evidence shows that cooperation works better than competition and that cooperatives succeed more often than standard corporations. Assumptions underlying the competitive system are that competition results in equity for all and that poverty can be eliminated through the market. [...] Cooperatives, where each member holds one share and one vote, are more democratic than hierarchical corporations. Poverty is actually eliminated through a combination of microfinance and cooperation. [...] These examples provide a vision of true globalization from below, a vision of a just and sustainable world"--Back cover.
