The lessons:
-Education is infrastructure.
-Social cohesion builds culture.
-Crisis creates opportunity.

Last month we traveled to Spain's Basque region to visit Mondragon, the world's largest worker cooperative.

92 co-ops. 70,000 workers. €11 billion in revenue. Spain's 7th-largest company.

All collectively owned.

Here are 5 lessons for building a "Mondragon of Music"

We're continuing to grow our cooperative network and reached a new milestone. 1,000 Labels.

Independent labels, artists, supporters, and workers are all joining together to build something needed after two corporate sales: a collectively-owned Bandcamp successor.
