Dear friends

Certainly the role of member education in co-operatives is *essential* 
to their survival - Diana Liu has a recent pertinent example.

(As, by contrast, is the capitalist propaganda known as 'education, 
training and advertising' <g> )

    - so ''The role of Member Education in Co-operatives' (and other  
not-capitalist organisations) would be top of my thesis titles in this area.

Love and best

john
