Consumers Co-Operative Societies (Classic Reprint) by Charles Gide Pdf

Excerpt from Consumers Co-Operative Societies The excellent translation of Professor Gide's Les Sociétés Coope'ratives de consommatz'on which follows is the result of the labors of the staff of the Cooperative Reference Library, Dublin, Ireland. The present editor, in preparing the book for an American public, has, by permission of the fellow-co-operators in Dublin, eliminated such of the English footnotes as were of interest principally to British readers or has incorporated them in his own. He has also moved up into the text many of Professor Gide's notes added by him at the time of the translation into English. Therefore at present there are only the two kinds of footnotes: those of the original author and those of the American editor.

The Consumers' Co-Operative Movement (Classic Reprint) by Sidney Webb Pdf

Excerpt from The Consumers' Co-Operative Movement The reader will find in this book, not a history of the Co-operative Movement in Great Britain, but a descriptive analysis of its present position, with a survey of its relation to other manifestations of Democracy and of its possibilities for the future. We have now been for thirty years investigating and describing democratic institutions, and only in the twenty-ninth year did we publish any volume dealing with national government or the Political State. We started at the opposite end, not only because the other manifestations of Democracy - in Trade Unionism and consumers' Co-operation, and in the various developments of Local Government - had been relatively neglected by writers on Political Science; but also because, to us as Socialists, these other manifestations seemed actually of greater importance than the Political State itself. For we have always held that it is in this spontaneous undergrowth of social tissue, rather than in a further hypertrophy of the national government, that will be found, for the most part the institutions destined increasingly to supersede the Capitalist System.

Consumers' Cooperation (Classic Reprint) by Albert Sonnichsen Pdf

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.

The Consumers Place in Society (Classic Reprint) by Percy Redfern Pdf

Excerpt from The Consumers Place in Society The lectures were given to co-operative and labour audiences, and the lecturer was happiest when (as in South Wales) the schools included militant young men from left-wing trade councils. He did not want to impede or distract Labour in its fight but he did want the young men to contend not for sections but for the whole Of the people, the consumers. Apart from the struggle between owners farming out possessions for profit and unions to sell labour at the highest possible price, he stood for a third party potentially greater than either - a party organised in a reconstructive movement leading to a new industry based on the peoples' needs, under the ownership and control Of the people in their masses. But while claiming the chief place for that third party he did not forget that the million wide ranks Of Labour are drawn from the flesh and blood Of the common democratic household whereas the capitalist mansion is another establishment altogether. In View Of the miners' stand for the British domestic consumer and in view, also, Of the very interesting experiment in co-operation between the municipalities, the Building Guild and the CO Operative Wholesale and co-operative Insurance Societies now proceeding, he is glad to emphasise again this common bond. For the idea Of his opening sentence the author is indebted to Mankind in the Making, by Mr. H. G. Wells - the book which Mr. Shaw proposed to dramatise by means Of a spout discharging the babies! He believes this to be the only due acknowledgment not to be found in the text. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Co-Operation by Emerson Pitt Harris Pdf

Excerpt from Co-Operation: The Hope of the Consumer All my life I have felt that the consumer was at an unfair disadvantage in buying. When, for eight years beginning in my teens, I owned and ran a country store, I never quite saw the equity of concealed profits which, on some things, were several times the percentage they were on others. In my twenty-odd years of advertising and publishing, and several years of editing a magazine devoted to sales promotion, I have always thought that the final consumer was treated too much as a mere incident, that he had too little voice. Always in my own buying I have felt a discontent with my total ignorance as to how much I was paying the mer chant for the distributive service he performed for me. Perhaps he was getting but five per cent of the retail price, perhaps sixty per cent. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Consumers' Co-Operative Movement by Sidney Webb Pdf

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1921 edition. Excerpt: ...thus adding less than 50 per cent. The aggregate capital of the consumers' Co-operative Movement in Great Britain at the end of 1920, allowing for duplications, can hardly have been less than 100,000,000, a truly remarkable aggregation of the savings of the four million Co-operators, and one constituting far and away the largest business enterprise under the administration of the wage-earning class of any nation. (b) The Political Transformation Perhaps the most momentous effect of the Great War on the British Co-operative Movement has been the quickening of its political self-consciousness. Down to 1914 the Movement had remained, so far as any corporate manifestation was concerned, strictly non-political. Co-operators were, individually, Conservative, Liberal, or Labour in their political sympathies or affiliations, but the Co-operative society, as such, abstained from political partisanship. Now and again, when some action of Parliament or a government department was objected to, or when some alteration in law or administration was desired in the interest of the Movement itself, representations, public or CO-OPERATIVE POLITICS 245 private, would be made in the name of Co-operation; and in these representations Co-operators of all political sympathies would join. Probably a majority of the active Co-operators were attached to the Liberal Party, to which most of the leading members belonged. There were among them many Conservatives and a growing number of adherents of the Labour Party. Within the Movement itself there was, however, by common consent the very minimum of "party politics." By the end of the war a great change had occurred. The demand for representation of the Movement in the House of Commons had become...

Co-Operative Stores by Eugen Richter Pdf

Excerpt from Co-Operative Stores: Their History, Organization, and Management They immediately proceeded to work, and that same evening a paper was drawn up, on which twelve men set their names to an agreement to pay twenty pence a week into a common stock. Only a few out of the twelve were able to pay that sum the same evening, but they proudly named this novel associ ation, The Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers. Our weavers assumed this name of Pioneers, as significant of their purpose to break, through the tangled thicket of distress and want which encompassed them, a new path for their brethren of the working class, along which their feet might find the way to a better condition of life. They at once issued a programme for the new Society, which read substantially thus. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
