ABSTRACT
The Cooperative Commonwealth (CC) called for the elimination of corporate personhood and unchecked speculation, provided preferences for worker-owned cooperatives and local living economies, and was committed to the long-time health of the ecological commons. Only a complete reorganization of the social structure into a CC will bring economic security and prevent a prolonged period of further suffering among the people. Presently, in the context of global warming and climate change, there has been a slowly emerging and developing post-industrial, worldwide social movement rallying against and trying to resist the unchecked corporate power of the multinational few who are continuing to engage in unsustainable capitalist expansionism at the expense of the many and the environment, too. Corporate Accountability International (CAI) has been one type of organization that has worked to protect human rights as well as the environment from corporate abusers.
