Summary:

Richard Williams surveys the history of the cooperative movement from its modern origins in the 18th century and deals with the theory of cooperation, as contrasted with the ""Standard Economic Model"", based on competition. The book analyzes the successes and challenges of the cooperative movement as an alternative to the global neo-colonialism and imperialism that now characterizes free-market capitalist approaches to globalization
