The author, Dr. Ing. h. c. mult. Hans-Peter Dürr, argues that the traditional craftsmanship industry is facing significant challenges due to the increasing use of technology and automation, which has led to a decline in demand for skilled labor. However, he suggests that by forming raw material cooperatives, craftsmen can pool their resources and expertise to create a more sustainable and profitable future for themselves. The book begins with an introduction to the concept of raw material cooperatives and their potential benefits for craftsmen. The author then delves into the history of craftsmanship and its evolution over time, highlighting the key factors that have contributed to the current state of the industry. He also discusses the impact of technology on craftsmanship and how it has affected the industry's growth and development. The main part of the book focuses on the practical implementation of raw material cooperatives, providing case studies and examples of successful cooperatives. The author emphasizes the importance of collaboration and shared ownership among craftsmen, as well as the need for a clear strategy and vision for the cooperative.
