Abstract
In the theory and practice of cooperation, various concepts and directions are encountered, according to the attitude towards the principles and bases of organization of the capitalist society. Generally, a fundamental separation is made between the rural and urban middle class cooperation, which is accounted to be settled on capitalist principles, and between the consumption and worker’s manufacturing cooperative, which has developed in the name of another social ideal, testifies the belief that its organization is antagonic to the capitalist regime and aims towards another order of the society.
