The Co-Opolitan: A Story of the Cooperative Commonwealth of Idaho is a novel written by Zebina Forbush and published in 1898. The book is set in the future, in the year 1998, and imagines a utopian society in which the state of Idaho has become a cooperative commonwealth. The story follows the protagonist, John Stuart, as he travels to Idaho and becomes involved in the cooperative movement. The cooperative commonwealth in Idaho is based on the principles of cooperation, mutual aid, and solidarity. All aspects of society, including industry, agriculture, and education, are organized on a cooperative basis. The government is run by a council of representatives elected by the people, and decisions are made through a process of consensus-building. The economy is based on the principle of fair distribution of wealth, and there is no private ownership of land or natural resources. As John Stuart becomes involved in the cooperative movement, he learns about the history and principles of the movement, and becomes a passionate advocate for the cooperative commonwealth. Along the way, he meets a variety of characters who represent different aspects of the cooperative movement, including farmers, factory workers, and educators. The Co-Opolitan is a visionary work that imagines a future in which cooperation and solidarity replace competition and individualism. It is a call to action for those who believe in the power of collective action to create a better world.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
