Fix the title: coop -> co-op

The abbreviation for "cooperative" is always spelled with a hyphen.

"co-op" may be more common, but we can easily find many examples of "coop" use out in the wild. The title is fine. The surrounding context makes it clear what "coop" is intended to mean.

Or coöp if you want to be fancy.

It's generally inconsistent. The first sentence is written, "A co-op is an economic system built on the simple idea that coordinating the economic activity..."

Co-op is correct here, but not in the title (Coop). Probably personal taste, but I'd also like to see hyphentation for "co-ordinating", "co-operate" and "co-ordinator" as well.

Then I noticed the em-dashes, so perhaps I'm reading the machine's work anyway.
