Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The People´s Year Book: And Annual of the English and Scottish Wholesale Societies, 1921 The present issue of The People´s Year Book (the fourth of the series) combines the special features and comprehensive range which have gained for the publication a distinctive place amongst its congeners and made it indispensable as a work of reference for the Co-operative and kindred movements as well as for citizens in general, interested in social objects and imbued with a genuine desire for economic, political and social advance. One of the characteristics of The People´s Year Book has been the incorporation, within the limits of space, of additional features year by year, and, in this regard, the present volume will fully sustain comparison with its predecessors. To the Co-operative movements both at home and abroad the Year Book for 1921 is calculated to be of special interest in view of the series of articles it contains dealing with the relations of Co-operative movements to politics in many lands - articles enabling Co-operators for the first time on record to realise the political attitude of Co-operative movements under many and diverse conditions and to view the Co-operative trend or trends of events (politically speaking) on an international scale. In view both of the arresting character of the subject and the international repute of the authors (including Professor Charles Gide, Victor Serwy, G. J. D .C. Goedhart, Heinrich Kaufmann, Antonio Vergnanini, and Dr. Oskar Schär, amongst others) it may be anticipated that this series of articles will be widely read and discussed. As regards the economic aspect and progress of Co-operative movements both at home and abroad, these have been delineated with no less plenitude than that in previous years, to the end that the volume may justify its reputation as the international year book of the Co-operative world. As regards the kindred movement of Labour, the attention devoted to its manifold aspects is indicated by the mass of industrial labour statistics, the review of Trade Unionist progress, the record of outstanding events (given both in review form and diary) together with Factory and Workshops and International Labour office reports and so forth. Add thereto the special articles dealing with the Course of Capitalism, the Source of British supplies, the Housing question and the Women´s movement and the information given with regard to Taxation and the movement of prices, plus an array of serviceable statistics, and it will be seen that no efforts have been spared to enhance the utility of the volume as a work of reference for the people. These efforts - it may be stated, by the way - included the commissioning of authoritative articles descriptive of Irish and Indian affairs - articles which, we regret to say, by some mischance have failed to reach their destination.
