Cooperation and Social Justice

Abstract

Cooperation in its special sense of working together as a Cooperative Society spells social justice. The ideology of Cooperation, now increasingly being called Cooperativism to distinguish the ideology from the practice of Cooperation, is a statem ent of certain aspects of social justice. The im plem entation of the Cooperative Principles, which express this ideology in practical terms, necessarily results in social justice in respect of the m atters that pertain to those principles. Cooperation is also the best way of satisfying several economic needs that arise from the implementation of various measures designed to meet the demands of social justice.
