Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from John T. W. Mitchell: Pioneer of Consumers´ Co-Operation Though neither a founder of the Pioneer Co-operative Society at Rochdale, nor of the Wholesale Society that followed, John Mitchell stands out as originating the conception of an all-inclusive consumers´ movement. He wanted a democracy sovereign over capital and labour, and employing both in the direct service of the consuming community; and during twenty years he led in this direction. His ideas were carried forward by others, in the co-operative movement notably by the late Thomas Tweddell; but they remain to be developed fully. Arising from a working life, and not from a theoretic mind, they embody a common-sense to which we must always return, however far we depart from it. The pages following set out from this point of view to present John Mitchell as vividly as may be in view of the unusual scantiness of the materials. Even Mitchell´s friend, then Mr. William Maxwell, visiting Rochdale in 1895, could find little to help him in writing the memoir which appeared in the C.W.S. Annual for 1896. Since then, except incidentally for the Story of the C.W.S., nothing more has been gathered until now. There are no letters or MS. writings of any kind to be traced, and no other records exist to show the development of Mitchell´s mind. Of what is now garnered much has had to be gleaned straw by straw. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
