Key Theorists

Page 3: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

Robert Owen(1771–1858)

OWEN first cooperative theorist and credited with inspiring the Rochdale Pioneers, who in 1844 began the cooperative movement at Rochdale, Lancashire

Page 4: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

It was here that the first co-operative store was opened.

Page 5: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

Although Owen inspired the cooperative movement, others – such as– Dr William King took his ideas and made them more workable and practical. King believed in starting small, and realized that the working classes would need to set up cooperatives for themselves, so he saw his role as one of instruction.

Dr. William King (1786–1865)

Charles FourierCharles Fourier should also be mentioned as an important influence. Beliefs-Fourier believed that poverty was the reason for disorder socially and economically. The main goal of Fourier was to create a society in which the people worked together, both rich and poor, to create a social economy that was profitable and also saved time and labor for the citizens. By uniting all people regardless of economic status, Fourier hoped to eliminate the poverty that was stunting the success of social economy.. Just like pleasure needs variety, so did work. Fourier believes that the people should constantly switch roles and have variety in their work which produces the best result.

Beatrice Webb was the author of The Co-operative Movement in Great Britain (1891).

Page 8: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

In modern form, cooperatives date from 1844, then a group of 28 impoverished weavers of Rochdale, England, founded a mutual-aid society, called the Rochdale Society of Equitable Pioneers.

• The successful example of cooperative business provided by the Rochdale Society, which also established between 1850 and 1855 a flour mill, a shoe factory, and a textile plant, was quickly emulated throughout the country.

Page 10: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

Rochdale Principles in 1844, which have been highly influential throughout the cooperative movement.

(1) democratic control, with each member entitled to only one vote, regardless of the number of his or her total shares;

(2) membership open to all, irrespective of race, creed, class, occupation, or political affiliation;

(3) payment of limited interest on invested capital; (4) distribution of net profits, usually called savings or

earnings, to cooperative members in proportion to the amount of their patronage.

Page 11: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

a. part of cooperative earnings are utilized to expand operations

b. non-members may become members by letting their share of net profits be applied towards their initial share stock;

Supplemental Principles

The Rochdale Society developed a number of supplemental principles, which are generally observed in contemporary consumer cooperatives. According to these:

Page 12: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

c. goods and services are sold for cash at prevailing market prices; reserve funds are regularly accumulated for the purpose of covering depreciation and meeting possible emergencies;

d. educational activities, designed to increase and inform the cooperative membership, are systematically sponsored and conducted.

e. Other supplemental principles hold that labor must be fairly treated and that cooperatives should work together

Cooperative Wholesale Society

According to cooperative economist Charles Gide, the aim of a cooperative wholesale society is to arrange “bulk purchases, and, if possible, organize production.”

Page 15: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

Friedrich Wilhelm Raiffeisen

Raiffeisen conceived of the idea of cooperative self-help during his tenure as the young mayor of Flammersfeld. He was inspired by observing the suffering of the farmers who were often in the grip of loansharks. He founded the first cooperative lending bank, in effect the first rural credit union in 1864.

The International Cooperative Alliance (ICA), the body that represents and serves cooperatives worldwide, reports that there are over one billion people around the globe who are members of cooperatives. Large segments of the world’s population are members of cooperatives

. Asia has 45.3 million cooperative members. In Indonesia, 27.5% of families are members of cooperatives. In Japan, 33% of families are members of cooperatives. In Singapore, 50% of the population are members of cooperatives. People have opted for the cooperative way because of the benefits and advantages that they derive from their membership in the coop.

6. Health

The International Health Co-operative Organization (IHCO) unitesco-operatives within the ICA membership that:provide health care to their members;provide self-employment for health professionals (doctors, nurses, etc.);integrate consumers’ and producers’ co-operatives

Page 43: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

HealthICA (2010) cited some examples as follows:

US health reform, which includes the CO-OP programme, focused on promoting co-operative health service providers; collaboration between health co-operatives and the Japanese government to improve health care and to develop prevention measures;the concession model implemented in Spain that transfers managing some public hospitals and health centres to health co-operatives.

7. Fisheries ICFO report

The fisheries sector, which includes aquaculture, is crucial to food security, poverty alleviation and general well-being. In 2008, the world consumed 115 million tonnes of fish, and demand is expected to rise. Fish and fishery products are a vital and affordable source of food and high-quality protein (ICA:2010).

Page 45: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

Fisheries ICFO report

In 2008, fish as food reached an all-time high of nearly 17 kg per person, supplying more than three billion people with at least 15 percent of their average animal protein intake. In recent years, fishermen have suffered from various difficulties, such as lack of education, dangerous fishing environments and diminishing catch sizes caused by overfishing and climate change (ICA:2010).

Page 46: Historical Perspective of the Cooperative Movement

8. HousingThe recent global financial crisis had a powerful impact on housing markets around the world. Construction, which depends on capital investment, suffered as the capital markets dried up, property values fell and governments cut back on the financial assistance they provided for affordable housing.While many co-operative housing developers/providers reduced their development programs from lack of capital finance or to reduce exposure to adverse market conditions, established housing co-operatives proved to be resilient to the crisis, according to Mr David Rodgers, President of ICA Housing.
