The economic realization of property in a market economy is also manifested in a special form of organization of economic activity and entrepreneurship – cooperation. When organizing business through cooperation, a more vague alienation of the worker from the means of production is manifested, which allows to optimally resolve the contradiction between labor and capital. Around the world, most cooperative enterprises are based on various modifications of communal-collective ownership. In the conditions of modern Russia, in order to overcome the economic lag and import substitution, the transition to full-fledged market relations, the further development of ownership forms, the cooperative form of economic management is becoming increasingly important.
The growing number of cooperative entrepreneurship contributes to de-monopolization and the development of healthy competition, increasing the level of consumer protection, increasing the number of jobs and reducing unemployment, creating a layer of collective owners as a social basis for the stable development of society and the welfare of the population.
