In The Rise and Fall of United Grain Growers, Paul D. Earl traces the history of the Winnipeg-based co-operative grain marketing company from its origins in 1906 to its fall in a corporate takeover a hundred years later. - Lyle Dick - Canada's History - 20210122 This is a compelling inside look at a very important cooperative, one that was trying to walk a fine line between two very different belief systems. This book fills an important gap in our understanding of agricultural policy, business history, and cooperative practice and thought. It is not just about a grain company, but about a social movement, belief systems, corporate law, and economic and political power. - Murray Fulton
