The Catalan Integral Cooperative

Spain (Catalonia)

The Catalan Integral Cooperative is a financial co-op, a food pantry, a legal-aid desk, an open-source tool workshop, a local currency (the “eco”) and a bed-and-breakfast for tourists in a medieval watchtower, all rolled into one. Its goal is to create an ecosystem of alternative “post-capitalist” economic projects in Catalonia, to replace the dominant system.
