Synopsis

Draft of a bill that aims to reshape how agriculture and commerce are coordinated in the United States

This historical document outlines a proposed federal framework for organizing cooperative associations and creating a Bureau of Commerce. It presents the case for regulating business methods through expert, business-minded leadership rather than through rigid laws, with the goal of boosting efficiency, fairness, and prosperity across markets.

The book explains the scope, definitions, and structure of the act. It covers who may organize local, district, and national cooperatives, the purposes of such organizations, and how they would be classified and supervised. It also describes the creation of a Bureau of Commerce to supervise commerce and to investigate and regulate business practices, emphasizing the role of cooperative associations in promoting economic progress.
  • Learn how the authors define key terms like cooperative associations, certificate, board, and economic profit.
  • See the envisioned organization of cooperatives from local to national levels and how they interact with a new regulatory bureau.
