In its dying days the Government has published a report on mutualism and how public sector activities could become mutuals. The report: Mutual Benefit:giving people power over public services is an interesting read.
The Conservatives have promised to develop co-operatives. The Government document regards co-operatives as mutuals. However there are some important distinctions between the two. For example, building societies are mutuals, but they are not co-operatives. Credit unions are co-operatives.
