Böcker av Jack Bailey

First published in 1955, The British Co-operative Movement presents a comprehensive overview of the cooperative movement in Britain. It discusses important themes like co-operative beginnings; co-operative principles and methods; the retail societies; the 'wholesales'; co-operative co- partnership; the agricultural co-ops.; the co-operative union; the co-operative party; employment; and co-operative education. This is an important historical reference work for scholars of British history and British politics.

After a brief description of the early history of the Co-operative movement, the author turns to the Rochdale Pioneers and the foundations they lay for a co-operative community of a non-Owenite type.
