Dear Robert Oakeshott

Thank you for your message. I am delighted to hear from you, as I have admired your work enormously ever since being introduced to it by Shirley Williams in the early 1980s. The late Bill Whyte apart, I guess nobody has equalled your contribution in bringing Mondragon to attention, and, while I am sometimes down-hearted about the prospects of the lessons of the Mondragon experience being taken to heart and put to use elsewhere, it remains the best pointer to a better way of doing business and a better social order that we have.

Unfortunately, I am having technical problems of my own this morning - albeit with the printer rather than the computer - but I will put a copy of the book on which the draft paper on the web site is based - my 1999 Jobs of Our Own: Building a Stakeholder Society - in the mail for you if you will let me have your postal address, and follow-up with a hard copy of the paper in the event that you are unable to download it from the COG web site. Thanks again for your example and inspiration, and all good wishes, Race Mathews
