The next section (23) of the Cooperative Thought Library is once more dedicated to the work of German economist with Polish origins, Willy Wygodzinski, author of a very interesting book 'Cooperatives in Germany'. This book presents the genesis and development of various types of cooperatives in Germany in the nineteenth and early twentieth century. Wygodzinski's work seems to be important due to the fact that it helps to understand the influence and significance of the German cooperatives for development of cooperatives in Poland. The second part presents the issue of savings and credit associations. Extensive excerpts come from: W. Wygodzinski, Das Genossenschaftswesen in Deutschland, Leipzig und Berlin 1911.
