Sinopsis
Excerpt from Manual for Co-Operators: Prepared at the Request of the Co-Operative Congress, Held at Gloucester, in April, 1879; And Revised 1888
It is needless to give in any detail the history of the movement in the first years after the passing of the Act which legalised industrial societies. They grew and thrived apace under its protection, but soon began to understand from their own individual experience that some union between them was necessary, if the full benefit of the Act was to be realised. What each society had done for its individual members, a central organisation to which all might belong might do for the societies as a body. The chance of injurious rivalry between them might thus be avoided, commercial advantages might be obtained, and the sound principles and high tone which characterised the early associations might be preserved and extended to the whole body.

It has seemed desirable to explain to those who are responsible for this Manual, by way of preface, whence it comes, whom it represents, and why it is put forth.
Whence It Came. - The present proposal came from the Southern Section of the Central Co-operative Union, who, in December, 1878, resolved that it was desirable that a Manual should be prepared, and that an outline should, in the first instance, be submitted for their approval. This was done on February 19th, 1879, when the following outline was approved, and referred to the United Board: -
Introductory Historical Sketch of Co-operation.
Part I. - The Moral Basis of Co-operation, and its Relations to -
(a) Religious Faith.
(b) Other Philanthropic Movements.
(c) Socialism, Communism, and other Politico-Social Movements.
Part II. - The Economical Basis of Co-operation, and its Relations to -
(a) Competition.
(b) Current Economic Theories.
(c) The State.
Part III. - The Practice of Co-operation -
(a) In Distribution.
(b) In Production.
(c) In Social Life.
(d) As respects the Law.
Part IV. - The Helps and Hindrances to Co-operation - Dangers to be guarded against.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book seeks to explore the trajectory of the cooperative movement, its grounding in Christian principles, and its relation to philanthropy and other social movements. The author traces the historical origins of cooperation from its roots in the mid-19th-century and situates it within the broader context of social reform movements. The book then examines the core ideas behind cooperation, emphasizing its focus on truthfulness, equity, and the prevention of waste. It also delves into the ethical and religious dimensions of cooperation, arguing that it represents a practical manifestation of Christian values. Furthermore, the book explores the relationship between cooperation and philanthropy, suggesting that cooperation can provide a more sustainable and effective approach to addressing social problems. The book concludes by highlighting the potential of cooperation to transform society, fostering a sense of unity and laying the groundwork for a more just and equitable world.
