Abstract:There is a growing interest in industrial co-operatives although the idea itself is by no means a modern one, having long been regarded as the ideal of a socialist system. There are comparatively few worker co-operatives in the United Kingdom, but rather more of them on the Continent. The article examines the reasons for this and the problems facing co- operatives-particularly in relation to the law, taxation and the trade unions.
