"With the economy in shambles, Curl's book "For All The People: Uncovering The Hidden History of Cooperation, Cooperative Movements and Communalism in America" is timely and relevant. Curl discusses the impetus for writing his book, which traces cooperative history from Native American cultures and the English colonies, through the Revolutionary War, Civil War, Reconstruction, Great Depression through to the present, and the forces that continuously seek to thwart them. (478 pages, with Notes ) John Curl is a woodworker and has been involved with cooperatives and collectives for decades and is a member of Heartwood Cooperative Woodshop in Berkeley, CA."
