Mondragon Bookstore & Coffeehouse
Former bookstore and cafe in Winnipeg, Canada
The Mondragon Bookstore & Coffeehouse was a political bookstore and vegan cafe located in The Old Market Autonomous Zone at 91 Albert Street in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. The name comes from the Mondragón Cooperative Corporation and other organisations in the Basque town of Mondragón Spain that is known for its extensive network of worker's cooperatives.
Mondragon was organized as a workers' collective with no hierarchy and all workers receiving the same wage rate.[1] This was based on the economic structure of Parecon, developed by Robin Hahnel and Michael Albert.
The firm closed on January 26, 2014, citing financial difficulties.[2]
