Abstract
It would take a separate study to show the similarities and dissimilarities among cooperative theories developed so far and the cooperative models presented in this paper. In Hungary, Erdei [22] wrote the most comprehensive survey of the history of cooperative concepts. This book, published more than a decade ago, analyzed the role and capacities of cooperative organizations in social progress and in economic development. In Erdei’s study there may be revealed both the cognizance of the dual character of cooperative organizations and the conception of cooperatives as business enterprises. These concepts were canonized by the new Hungarian Cooperative Laws in 1967 and 1971.
