La promoción de una economía no-capitalista: el grupo mondragón

Abstract

Mondragón is at present the seventh entrepreneurial group in Spain according
to sales volume and the third according to employment. As a cooperative, it offers a
non-capitalist alternative of success, demonstrating that social transformation is possible
and invalidating the theories of reproduction, which defend that education can not contribute
to the overcoming of social inequalities. The present article analyses the importance
given to education by Mondragón throughout its 50 years of history, making out
of it a key factor both for the corporation’s success as well as for the improvement of
the life condition of those who participate in this experience.
