Looks excellent Tomboktu, Mondragon is a fascinating and pretty successful approach particularly for those o us interested in non statist ways forward.
And heavily connected to Basque patriotism which is a major reason for its success, in my opinion
I’m not sure Franco saw it that way.
(Nor, for that matter, people in the rest of Spain today who shop at Eroski, its supermarket chain.)
I did mention Mondragon to a couple of Basque women I knew in Belfast. . . and they burst out laughing.
Note the change of room, which I was told about tis afternoon.
Bigger, or smaller?
<shrug> No idea.
Bigger.
