The prairie farm machinery co-operative : The Canadian Co-operative Implements Limited / by Rubin Simkin, Department of Economics, University of Manitoba.: Z1-1966/41-5E-PDF

"The farm machinery industry has been of great importance to farmers for many years and its importance has continued to grow. Co-operatives have suffered spectacular setbacks in the industry on this continent and can point to very few successes. Nevertheless, there has been virtually no attempt to systematically analyze the causes of failure. This neglect certainly cannot be explained by a lack of co-operative literature in general! Furthermore, co-operatives claim to be highly democratic, open, and self-critical organizations in which all issues are fully and freely discussed"--Introduction, page 9.
