Description

This book explores the connections between Robert Owen - the "father of co-operation" and contemporary interpretations of his ideas, through a series of chapters written by leading practitioners in each of the fields that Owen was concerned with. It tries to draw lessons from his experience for social innovators of the future.

First Sentence

Robert Owen has long been recognised as the "Father of Co-operation", but foir much of the period since his death, at least in the UK, his own legacy has been somewhat overshadowed by that of the co-operators he inspired; not least the Rochdale Pioneers.
