This presentation is grounded on the research published in the book Capital and the Debt Trap - learning from cooperatives in the global crisis by Sanchez Bajo & Roelants.
The book provides an explanation of the global crisis since 2007 and why cooperatives have been showing a relatively higher degree of resilience compared to other types of enterprises, generating genuine value and general wealth in a sustainable manner.
As a call for further debate and engagement, a debt trap is similar to an ecological overshoot, displaying a systemic trajectory that is no longer sustainable, actually leading to systemic failure. Can we imagine another trajectory and discuss new answers to generate genuine value leading to general and common wealth sustainably?
