Description

The Cooperativism and Democracy, edited by Bartlomiej Blesznowski is not purely a scientific book, but rather a guide which shows how scholars and activists wrote about the community, social participation and the politics in Poland in the early 20th century. The book contains a selection of texts in socio-political thought, led by the work of one of most important Polish thinkers - Edward Abramowski, socialist, philosopher and psychologist. Polish cooperativism can be inspiring to both contemporary researchers and political activists in Europe post the economic crisis, which brought about a crisis of faith in political and economic institutions. These works have a chance to become a significant voice in the debate over the relationship of contemporary economics and politics. Contributors are: Edward Abramowski, Fr. Stanislaw Adamski, Bartlomiej Blesznowski, Zygmunt Chmielewski, Zofia Daszynska-Golinska, Maria Dabrowska, Jan Hempel, Jerzy Kurnatowski, Romuald Mielzarski, Remigiusz Okraska, Maria Orsetti, Adam Prochnik, Marian Rapacki, Franciszek Stefczyk, Edward Taylor, Stanislaw Thugutt, Stanislaw Wojciechowski, and Jan Wolski. First published in Polish as Kooperatyzm, spoldzielczosc, demokracja. Wybor pism by Wydawnictwo Uniwerstytetu Warszawskiego in 2014. The current work includes an additional chapter 'Through Cooperatives to the Future Order' by Zofia Daszynska-Golinska.
