Manley et al.'s recent paper on Principle 7 - the role of worker co-ops and the development of a social value toolkit - argues for a relational theory of social value. In it, the authors examine the goals of the Preston model of community wealth building in the UK and its nationwide development through the Cooperative Councils' Innovation Network and includes data from one of the case studies investigated in the design of the toolkit.
