ACFA: Question About Cooperative. No 2

Question 2: Was There Anytime That The Process Of Cooperative Faced A Hitch?

Answer: From the 1760s onwards, there were experiments in co-operation across the UK such as the Fenwick Weavers shop in Scotland and the Hull corn mill. By the early 1830s there were around 300 co-operative societies in the UK. These co-operatives often ran into problems through giving credit or a lack of business experience. Sometimes they were unable to recruit new members to move the co-operative into a new generation.
