To our mutual advantage

"The conversion of many building societies from mutual ownership to shareholder organisation has led some commentators to write the obituary for the entire mutual movement." "However, this book - the first comprehensive review of Britain's mutual 'sector' - shows that mutuality is for from extinct. In fact, mutuals are poised to play a for bigger role in the twenty-first century economy." "The report highlights the factors that make mutual enterprises more effective and innovative and the barriers to their success. It sets out a programme for a radical 'mutualisation' of services in the UK. Mutuality was a 'big idea' in the last century; it can be again in the next, offering a way to combine economic dynamism with social responsibility and community spirit."--BOOK JACKET.
