Ralph Myles Publisher Inc.: Colorado. 1970. pp. 135. “Coming at a time when the labor and consumer groups were experimenting with the ‘associated workshops’ and ‘protective union stores,’ Greene suggested that the mutual bank be incorporated in the movement, forming what he called ‘complementary units of production, consumption, and exchange,…the triple formula of practical mutualism.’ This program of mutualism he considered best adapted to local community level.”
