Co op Can't Thrive a Non Capitalistic System Hobson Says
Prof Asher Hobson of the University of Wisconsin says cooperatives tie to the capitalist system and cannot survive in a non capitalist society. He spoke at a conference for teacher training institutions on cooperatives sponsored by the university and state Department of Public Instruction. He argues cooperatives benefit the public by boosting farmers economic strength within capitalism and cites Fascist Italy Nazi Germany and Bolshevik Russia as failures without capitalism.
