Cooperative Movement in Great Britain

Focusing on social history and industry, this work explores the cooperative movement in Great Britain through the lens of Beatrice Potter Webb's experiences and insights. Raised in a business-oriented family, she was influenced by her father's connections in politics and industry. Her collaboration with Sidney James Webb, whom she married, led to significant contributions in sociology, including numerous volumes on factory conditions and economic history. This edition includes a new introductory biography, enhancing the understanding of Webb's impact on social reform.
