The book contains a selection of texts in socio-political thought, led by the work of one of the most important Polish thinkers--Edward Abramowski, socialist, philosopher and psychologist. Polish cooperativism can be inspiring to both contemporary researchers and political activists in Europe post economic crisis, which brought about a crisis of faith in political and economic institutions. These works have a chance to become a significant voice in the debate over the relationship of contemporary economics and politics.</p><p>Contributors are: Edward Abramowski, Fr.
