Who benefits financially from the gains derived from the cooperation among people?

Abstract

In many cases, people's cooperation resulted in a surplus which would not have been possible without cooperation. Therefore we call it community gain. In a market economy, community gain can also be expressed as financial profit. The study shows that if the co-operation is organised by the community itself then the financial profits remain within the community. If, however, the co-operation (division of labor) is organized by an entrepreneur, then the entrepreneur benefits financially from the community gain. If co-operation requires capital, then the financial profit is shared between the entrepreneur, the capital owners and the financial
intermediaries. The article argues that it would be expedient to talk about a community-centered economy since human co-operation is one of the biggest drivers of the economy, which was also demonstrated by the simple model presented in the article.
