Matador: The Co-operative Farming Tradition

Melnyk, George

This is an study of the Matador Farm Pool, the last co-op community movement in Saskatchewan. Rural co-operation was basically the Rochdale tradition, which is called liberal democratic, i.e. a co-operative organization that accepts the existence of the capitalist marketplace, that respects private property and provides a unifunctional service for its members.
