As far as I'm concerned, talking about "Post-growth entrepreneurship" is a little like talking about "Non-lethal assassination"...
You need to re-examine your terms and the systems of assumptions and associations which enable those terms to be meaningful.
Every definition of "entrepreneur" I can find involves an (heroic) individual... but I don't want the future of co-operativism to depend in any way on that sort of romantic individualism.
I want co-operatives to, instead, develop collective modes of deliberation and consensus building, with as little institutionalization of power structures and as little reliance on charismatic personalities as possible.
As someone who used to identify as a "social entrepreneur" in a past life, I really don't understand people who seem to share similar values/goals but still feel the need to hold on to the loaded language of the hegemony.
Just peeked at the site.
As my grandmother used to say: "Oy gevalt!"
So well written, I couldn't agree more 👍

Didn't Nathan Schneider put in his bio he was a serial entrepreneur? Coop-wise, that's a life goal honestly. Coop all the things!
