based in a little community, a little city called mondragon in the basque region, just below the pyrenees mountains in the north of spain. this is a company that has been growing since its founding in the mid-1-1950s. so it's a good half-century old. it started with 6 workers. it's a system of cooperatives. it has grown quite effectively. it now has over 100,000 employees. it's tthe seventh-largegest enterprise in all of spain. and it's just a set of cooperatives that t coordinate with one another. in each of them, the workers are their own board of directors. and, guess what, the workers made a rule-- the highest paid person in the co-ops, inny of themem, doesn't get more than 6 1/2 times what ththe lowest-paid workeker does. so there is no such enormous gap between rich anand poor. and d if you travel in the north of spain, where this company is the largest company in that part of spain, you will sesee that their cities and towns--i was there this summer--you can see right away. you don't have the slum over here and the fancy neigh-- you don't have any of that. there are people with mor
