Chapter 6 in The Economic Analysis of Producers’ Cooperatives, 1984, pp 143-202 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract This chapter focuses on various forms of producers’ cooperatives found in four western industrialised economies: the United Kingdom, France, the United States and Spain. These are not the only economies in the west where producers’ cooperatives operate; they merely represent a sample for which material was readily accessible. A major omission is that of Italy, which has the largest number of contemporary cooperatives in western Europe (Oakeshott, 1978; Thornley, 1981). The only justification for this otherwise arbitrary selection is that, at the time of writing, a more detailed secondary literature was known to this writer.
