Paperback. Creating a Co-op Village: How Real-World Co-op Businesses Build Wealth and Thriving CommunitiesCreating a Co-op Village proves this is not just a dream . it's happening now!!!The author shares real-world stories, thriving co-op examples, and practical strategies. Discover how ordinary people are building resilient and equitable communities. Entrepreneurs, organizers, andactivists will learn how to turn cooperative ideals into reality.Creating a Co-op Village is part practical guide, part economic manifesto, and part oral history. It draws on live think-tank conversations with real co-op founders, entrepreneurs, and community leaders who are already building various co-op models from the ground up.Author D.G. Safeer Hopton, founder of the Global Village Co-op, spent decades developing and refining the Co-op Village vision: a network of cooperatively owned businesses designed to recycle everyday consumer spending back into the hands of local members and communities.This book is the full record of that vision, where it came from, how it works, and how you can be part of building it.Rather than offering abstract theory, Creating a Co-op Village takes you inside real conversations. In the Co-op Founder Think-Tank section of the book, you will be motivated by nearly 50 pages of unfiltered dialogue with the visionaries behind the vision of creating and maintaining co-op villages: these pioneering discussions helped to overcome the manyobstacles they faced and the breakthroughs that shifted their thinking.The book also goes further than most co-op guides dare to go. It addresses race and economic justice head-on, explores the African and indigenous roots of cooperative economics, examines why the current competition, conflict, extraction models are unsustainable while making the case that cooperation is not just a business strategy. It is a return to something humanity has always known.Inside this book, you will discover: How cooperative businesses keep money circulating within communities rather than extracting it outward.The Co-op Founder Think-Tank: candid conversations with co-op builders on what works, what does not, and what is possible.The history of co-ops globally, including their deep roots in African and indigenous economics.Why credit unions, Sunkist, Land O' Lakes, and REI are co-ops and what that reveals about the model's proven reach.The seven international principles that guide successful cooperative enterprises.How race, poverty, and wealth intersect and why the co-op model offers one of the most practical paths toward closing the gap.How communities can shift from lack-consciousness to genuine prosperity through shared ownership.Entrepreneurs who want to build profitable, community-rooted businesses. Community organizers and activists turning vision into lasting economic change. Local leaders looking for proven strategies to strengthen local economies from the inside out. People from underserved and under-resourced communities looking for a model that was built with them in mind. And anyone who believes that prosperity should stay where it is created.A Co-op Village does not start with government programs or outside investment. It starts with people who decide together to stop unwise spending, giving their economic power away, and start recycling it back to themselves and their communities.Creating a Co-op Village gives you the history, the vision, the real conversations, and the practical framework to begin.The model already exists. The question is whether you are ready to build it.Foreword by Frank Crump, Founder and CEO of the UPI Loan Fund, a Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Creating a Co-op Village proves this is not just a dream … it’s happening now!!!
The author shares real-world stories, thriving co-op examples, and practical strategies. Discover how ordinary people are building resilient and equitable communities. Entrepreneurs, organizers, and
activists will learn how to turn cooperative ideals into reality.
Creating a Co-op Village is part practical guide, part economic manifesto, and part oral history. It draws on live think-tank conversations with real co-op founders, entrepreneurs, and community leaders who are already building various co-op models from the ground up.
Author D.G. Safeer Hopton, founder of the Global Village Co-op, spent decades developing and refining the Co-op Village vision: a network of cooperatively owned businesses designed to recycle everyday consumer spending back into the hands of local members and communities.
This book is the full record of that vision, where it came from, how it works, and how you can be part of building it.
Rather than offering abstract theory, Creating a Co-op Village takes you inside real conversations. In the Co-op Founder Think-Tank section of the book, you will be motivated by nearly 50 pages of unfiltered dialogue with the visionaries behind the vision of creating and maintaining co-op villages: these pioneering discussions helped to overcome the many
obstacles they faced and the breakthroughs that shifted their thinking.
The book also goes further than most co-op guides dare to go. It addresses race and economic justice head-on, explores the African and indigenous roots of cooperative economics, examines why the current competition, conflict, extraction models are unsustainable while making the case that cooperation is not just a business strategy. It is a return to something humanity has always known.
Inside this book, you will discover:
- How cooperative businesses keep money circulating within communities rather than extracting it outward.
- The Co-op Founder Think-Tank: candid conversations with co-op builders on what works, what does not, and what is possible.
- The history of co-ops globally, including their deep roots in African and indigenous economics.
- Why credit unions, Sunkist, Land O' Lakes, and REI are co-ops and what that reveals about the model's proven reach.
- The seven international principles that guide successful cooperative enterprises.
- How race, poverty, and wealth intersect and why the co-op model offers one of the most practical paths toward closing the gap.
- How communities can shift from lack-consciousness to genuine prosperity through shared ownership.
A Co-op Village does not start with government programs or outside investment. It starts with people who decide together to stop unwise spending, giving their economic power away, and start recycling it back to themselves and their communities.
Creating a Co-op Village gives you the history, the vision, the real conversations, and the practical framework to begin.
The model already exists. The question is whether you are ready to build it.
Foreword by Frank Crump, Founder and CEO of the UPI Loan Fund, a U.S. Treasury-designated Community Development Financial Institution.
