“John Graham Brooks gives a brief introduction to this volume. The author gives a brief review of the history and explanation of the cooperative movement, developed extensively throughout Europe during the war and now being adopted to some extent in the United States, especially in the middle western and western sections. He asserts it to be the alternative, not an antidote, to bolshevism. The growing importance of the procedure is illustrated by statistics. Its object, the author shows, is to reorganize industry on a collective basis from the point of view of the consumer; to create a consumers’ industrial democracy. He points out that it proceeds by action, rather than by talk.”—Springf’d Republican
“The value of the book consists in its giving the most adequate exposition of consumers’ coöperation yet given in this country,—a comprehensive story of the movement, the fullest in later years, and interesting suggestions as to future achievement.” E. P. Harris
