Why Co-ops Die paper by Jim Jones of NASCO, 2002.pdf - Google Drive
about them, and those who participate in disaster often leave for parts unknown. As a part- time historian of the movement, I’ve had to spend many hours in dusty university archives to figure out why things happened as they did. This paper is based on what records and memories we can gather.
