ZURICH - Is there economic life besides capitalist companies and public enterprises? If you take a broader view of the world, you will see how financial capitalism is failing most of all, plunging the global economy into one crisis after another. You will also see how many governments are failing to find the answer to numerous problems and are fleeing their responsibility for a well-functioning economy.

Especially the Swiss cooperative supermarket chains Coop and Migros have proven for many decades that the best entrepreneurs can be found in society, between state and financial capitalism. Dirk Barrez is therefore looking for the many reasons for their success in an eight-part series that will appear on the news site DeWereldMorgen.be from 24 September onwards.
