Most critics of the political evolution of Jean-Paul Sartre have laid emphasis on his allegedly sympathetic attitude to Stalinist Communism. This defense of Sartre shows his increasing involvement in the politics of the Left. Though he always distrusted Stalinism, he was sometimes driven to ally himself with it because of the force of its argument.

Most critics of the political evolution of Jean-Paul Sartre have laid emphasis on his allegedly sympathetic and uncritical attitude to Stalinist Communism due, to a large extent, to their equation of Marxism with Stalinism. It is true that Sartre was guilty of many serious misjudgements with regard to the USSR and the French Communist Party. But his relationship with the Marxist Left was much more complex and contradictory than most accounts admit. This book offers a political defence of Sartre and shows how, from a relatively apolitical stance in the 1930s, Sartre became increasingly involved

The "Co-op", one of the world’s most successful businesses, has been a common experience for millions of working-class people in Britain since the beginning of the Industrial Revolution. This work celebrates, in words and pictures, the history of a social movement which began with shopkeeping and grew into a large-scale international business, completely owned and controlled by its customers. This title tells how this British invention spread across the world - from the 28 "Rochdale Pioneers" of 1844 to the 700 million members of today’s International Co-operative Alliance - and ho

Mutuality has become a topic of debate recently for a whole range of academics and social commentators. The ’demutualisation’ of banks and building societies has been partnered by the idea of a ’new mutualism’ , forming a set of social values and beliefs, and this collection looks at the manifestations of these trends and the implications for the future.

In 1901, the young Winnifred Eaton arrived in New York City with literary ambitions, journalistic experience, and the manuscript for A Japanese Nightingale, the novel that would sell many thousands of copies and make her famous. Hers is a real Horatio Alger story, with fascinating added dimensions of race and gender. While commercially successful women writers were uncommon a century ago, Winnifred Eaton (1875-1954) cultivated a particular persona to set herself apart even within this rare breed. Born to a British father and a Chinese mother, Winnifred decided to capitalize on her exotic ap

The International Co-operative Movement follows on from Johnston Birchall’s widely acclaimed Co-op: The People’s Business ( MUP, 1994). The volume traces the history and development of the International Co-operative Movement (ICA) - an organisation that represents over 700 million individuals worldwide - from its foundation in 1895, up to the present day. The introductory chapter illustrates how the Co-operative Movement grew in different countries in response to industrialisation, urbanisation and the growth of market economies. Subsequent chapters examine the co-operative ‘ideal’, an
