As the dominant economic system is increasingly called into question, the time of the co-operative has well and truly come. Illustrating the history of the co-operative movement from its humble beginnings in the north of England to a worldwide network, this graphic novel presents a robust foundation for future well-being. Using a range of styles and cartoon pastiches, Polyp brings to life ideas and people who are rebooting a sustainable economy.
