The co-operative movement to-day, third edition

This is the third edition of George Jacob Holyoake's well-known work, The Co-operative Movement to-day. Written in 1903, this fascinating book covers the entire history of co-operation from its beginnings to the present day. It offers a very comprehensive discussion on co-operation and includes discussions about the various forms that it has taken over the years--building societies, agricultural co-operative societies, workers' co-operative societies and consumers' co-operative societies. The book also discusses how and why people in England and Wales were so successful at establishing these institutions, and what role they played for them in their communities.
