Synopsis
Excerpt from Consumers' Cooperation
Until the war, no speaker on Consumers' Cooperation could escape a question as pertinent as it was monoto nous: Why has success been so brilliant and con tinuous in England and other European countries while result-s are so meager in the United States? For the first time this form of Cooperation has become a serious working class interest. Extensively and in tensively it is on a scale which makes possible if not an answer, at least a more confident prophecy that we are to take our place in this world attempt to make democratizing industry something more than a phrase.
I am far from giving it as a primary or even a sec ondary reason why cooperation so long halted in this country, but it has been sorely hampered by muddling together economic activities which have very little in common. A state of mind in which Profit-sharing, Labor Copartnership, Citrous Fruit Companies, Co operative Creameries and the like, are identical with Consumers' Cooperation, is one in which progress is embarrassed.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. As the first stirrings of the Industrial Revolution transformed daily life, this book traces the intellectual and social journey that led to the rise of the international Consumers Cooperative Movement. Driven by the urgent need for workers' rights and social justice, various thinkers sought to remedy the exploitative effects of the new order. Among them, this book focuses on the significant ideas of Dr. William King. As a proponent of social reform, King saw cooperation as a means of empowering the working class and liberating labor from capitalist control. By forming consumer cooperatives that shared profits among members, King believed workers could amass capital, create their own employment, and gain economic independence. This book demonstrates how King's vision inspired the 28 Rochdale weavers, whose successful implementation of these principles transformed the cooperative store movement into a force for social change with a profound and lasting global impact. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
