Book Description
Excerpt from Co-Operation in Many Lands, Vol. 1 HE task which we have set ourselves is to study a form of economic organisation which is termed co-operation. The word is used in ordinary speech in several senses. People are said to co-operate - or work together to secure, let us say, a legislative reform or some other desired end. But the sense in which the term is used by economists is a narrower one, restricted to a special form of economic organisation in which people work together for definite business purposes under certain definite business rules. Before we consider what special meaning is given to this use of the word co-operation we may profitably ask ourselves something about the part which association plays in industry and commerce. We are accustomed, in ordinary life, to think of the principle of competition rather than that of association as being the underlying principle of the modern industrial structure. Most of the earlier economists indeed gave a certain authority to this view. But when we examine the working of our industrial system we cannot fail to perceive that competition is not really its essential foundation. Competition there is, and we must not lose sight of the part which it plays; but it only begins after the principle of association has had full play. We have only to picture tocompeting Robinson Crusoes woulcl achieve, and to compare it with our own, to see that it is a necessary condition of industrial or business efficiency that men should work together. Our banks and our railways compete with each other; but they maintain clearing-houses to facilitate their joint working, In like manner the whole. Industrial system is associative as well as competitive. It is not, therefore, the mere fact that the special subject of which we treat involves association that makes it necessary to study it as a subject of descriptive economics.

Book Description
A famed political scientist's classic argument for a more cooperative world We assume that, in a world ruled by natural selection, selfishness pays. So why cooperate? In The Evolution of Cooperation, political scientist Robert Axelrod seeks to answer this question. In 1980, he organized the famed Computer Prisoners Dilemma Tournament, which sought to find the optimal strategy for survival in a particular game. Over and over, the simplest strategy, a cooperative program called Tit for Tat, shut out the competition. In other words, cooperation, not unfettered competition, turns out to be our best chance for survival. A vital book for leaders and decision makers, The Evolution of Cooperation reveals how cooperative principles help us think better about everything from military strategy, to political elections, to family dynamics.

Book Description
Excerpt from Co-Operative Production, Vol. 1 No impartial-minded man can read the account of the labours of many of the earlier co-operators without realizing how great was the unselfish and public spirited energy which they gave to their work. No one who has watched the best work alike of Co operative Societies, Trades Unions, and Friendly Societies, doubts for a moment that invaluable services have been rendered to the country by means of the training which has been supplied in self-government by these associations.
