Summary "History of the United Co-operative Baking Society Ltd.: A Fifty Years' Record" by William Reid is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles the development of the United Co-operative Baking Society and its evolution from inception through various challenges, triumphs, and advancements in the baking industry over a fifty-year period. Its primary focus is on the social and economic conditions of Scotland that influenced the formation and functioning of co-operative societies, particularly in the baking sector. The opening of the text sets the stage by delving into the harsh conditions faced by Scottish citizens in the 17th and 18th centuries, where poverty and poor agricultural practices were rampant. It highlights the struggles of the working class and positions the establishment of co-operation as a necessary response to these challenges. Additionally, it discusses the roots of co-operative movements in Scotland, offering a glimpse into early attempts at association among local bakers. The narrative provides insight into the historical context that led to the co-operative baking societies, paving the way for an exploration of their formation, operation, and impact in subsequent chapters.
