Reviews
"Written with integrity, intelligence, passion, and commitment, For All the People draws on deep experience and, if we read it well, provides a road map to the future." --Malcolm Margolin, author, The Ohlone Way, "It is indeed inspiring, in the face of all the misguided praise of 'the market,' to be reminded by John Curl's new book of the noble history of cooperative work in the United States." Howard Zinn, on previous edition, "Written with integrity, intelligence, passion, and commitment, For All the People draws on deep experience and, if we read it well, provides a road map to the future." -Malcolm Margolin, author, The Ohlone Way, "It is indeed inspiring, in the face of all the misguided praise of 'the market,' to be reminded by John Curl's new book of the noble history of cooperative work in the United States." -Howard Zinn, on previous edition, "The self-destroying machine of industrial consumer capitalism lurches toward its collapse, and those who come after will need the information and inspiration in this marvelously detailed book." Ernest Callenbach, author, Ecotopia and Ecotopia Emerging, "The self-destroying machine of industrial consumer capitalism lurches toward its collapse, and those who come after will need the information and inspiration in this marvelously detailed book." --Ernest Callenbach, author, Ecotopia and Ecotopia Emerging, "New generations of readers will find this a fascinating account, and aging co-opers like myself will understand better what we did, what we tried to do, where we succeeded, and where we failed. Get this book and read it." --Paul Buhle, coeditor, Encyclopedia of the American Left, "Written with integrity, intelligence, passion, and commitment, For All the People draws on deep experience and, if we read it well, provides a road map to the future."

He has done what no one else has by exploring the various permutations of 'cooperation' as a value system and as a movement throughout American history. He also makes clear that the cooperative alternative to wage-labor and exploitation still offers hope to those of us who want to see democracy permeate the world of work." --Steve Leikin, author of The Practical Utopians: American Workers and the Cooperative Movement in the Gilded Age "The self-destroying machine of industrial consumer capitalism lurches toward its collapse, and those who come after will need the information and inspiration in this marvelously detailed book. It will suggest other and better ways of organizing society and its productive resources as we ultimately move toward a sustainable future." --Ernest Callenbach, author of Ecotopia and Ecotopia Emerging "For the past two decades John Curl has been my favorite guide to Anarchism and Collectives in America. His passion for describing living models of face to face mutuality is a major contribution to the hidden history of cooperatives in the U.S." --David J. Thompson, author of Weavers of Dreams: The Founding of the Modern Cooperative Movement and 2010 inductee into the Cooperative Hall of Fame "Written with integrity, intelligence, passion, and commitment, For All the People draws on deep experience and, if we read it well, provides a road map to the future." --Malcolm Margolin, author of The Ohlone Way and publisher of Heyday Books "For historians, Curl's book is a must. For young women and men considering the idea of starting a business they own and manage.... And for the philosophers among us, Curl does not ignore the theoretical threads." --Frank T. Adams, co-author of Putting Democracy to Work "This new edition is greatly welcome, because we need a cooperative movement and spirit more than ever before. Curl surveys all, and explains much. New generations of readers will find this a fascinating account, and aging co-opers like myself will understand better what we did, what we tried to do, where we succeeded and where we failed. Get this book and read it, Curl will do you good." --Paul Buhle, coeditor of the Encyclopedia of the American Left, founding editor of Radical America, "It is indeed inspiring, in the face of all the misguided praise of 'the market,' to be reminded by John Curl's new book of the noble history of cooperative work in the United States." --Howard Zinn, on previous edition, "New generations of readers will find this a fascinating account, and aging co-opers like myself will understand better what we did, what we tried to do, where we succeeded, and where we failed. Get this book and read it." Paul Buhle, coeditor, Encyclopedia of the American Left

Synopsis
Seeking to reclaim a history that has remained largely ignored by most historians, this dramatic and stirring account examines each of the definitive American cooperative movements for social change-farmer, union, consumer and communalist - that have been all but erased from collective memory. Focusing far beyond one particular era, organisation, leader, or form of cooperation, For All the People documents the multigenerational struggle of the American working people for social justice., Seeking to reclaim a history that has remained largely ignored by historians, this dramatic and stirring account examines each of the definitive American cooperative movements for social change--farmer, union, consumer, and communalist--that have been all but erased from collective memory. With an expansive sweep and breathtaking detail, this scholarly yet eminently readable chronicle follows the American worker from the colonial workshop to the modern mass-assembly line, from the family farm to the corporate hierarchy, ultimately painting a vivid panorama of those who built the United States and those who will shape its future. This second edition contains a new introduction by Ishmael Reed, a new preface by the author that discusses cooperatives in the Great Recession of 2008 and their future in the 21st century, and a new chapter on the role co-ops played in the food revolution of the 1970s.
