Rochdale Principles in the Golden Age | Golden Age

The Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers was founded by a group of 28 weavers and other artisans who were determined to create a more just and equitable economic system. The key principles and values of the Rochdale Principles include mutual aid, social responsibility, and member ownership. These principles are designed to promote democratic decision-making, open membership, and continuous education, and to ensure that cooperatives are guided by a commitment to social and economic justice. The Mondragon Cooperative Corporation and the Twin Oaks Community are notable examples of successful cooperatives that have implemented the Rochdale Principles.
