Charles T. Sprading’s Classic Book on Mutual Service Now Posted on this site!

Mutual Service and Cooperation

 

We are very pleased to announce that Charles T. Sprading’s great book on Mutual Service and Cooperation has been uploaded to Support Credit Unions site. Click on the main bar to begin reading. This book has been out of print for many years.

 

Sprading was a well known Libertarian and author of many books and articles on Liberty and Freedom, as well as cooperative societies. In his early years he fought for Irish Freedom. When Eamon de Valera, the heroic leader of the Irish Freedom movement was traveling around the United States speaking and fund raising, Mr. Sprading was his “advance” man. Mr. Sprading would go into a town or city and do the press work and publicity to get people ready to attend the de Valera rallies.

 

Mr. Sprading was an intellectual, and contemporary of de Valera, who wrote the Irish Constitution and served as President of Ireland. Many feel that Charles Sprading, who was a few years older than de Valera, was in fact a mentor figure. Sprading’s keen mind, his vast knowledge of philosophy, history, and politics, would play a big part in de Valera’s life and fortunes. It can be noted here that even in his late eighties Mr. Sprading had a photographic memory, and could recall his early years with great clarity, almost down to a specific date. As a champion of liberty and freedom he is certainly one of the greatest men of the twentieth century, although now almost forgotten in this age of totalitarian beliefs.

 

So it is with tremendous enthusiasm that we present this great work on mutualism. Thanks go to Floyd Pink and Mike who were great helps in tracking down this rare book and spending the time necessary to scan this into text.
