THE ANNALS OF COLLECTIVE ECONOMY

Abstract

The Coopérateur Suisse, the official organ of the Swiss Union of consumers' co‐operatives (U.S.C.) in Basle, published on the occasion of the fiftieth anniversary of the foundation of the Union, and of the Jubilee Congress of delegates of the Swiss co‐operatives at Basle, on the 22nd of June 1930, a special number, to which reference will later be made, devoted not only to the origins and development of this institution, but also to the principal aspects of the Co‐operative Movement in Switzerland and to a large measure throughout the world. The Editor of the Coopérateur Suisse insisted on giving the “Annals of Collective Economy” a place in this collection. Here we publish the article which was so kindly requested of the Director of the “Annals” on this occasion.
