To mark the beginning of the United Nations International Year of Co-operatives and celebrate the launch of The hidden alternative, Manchester University Press is organising two simultaneous events in Manchester and London. The events are an opportunity to meet the editors and the authors, find out more about the book and learn more about the International Year.

In Manchester, economist and co-operative expert Robin Murray will open the event. Professor Stephen Yeo, eminent co-operative scholar, will open the event in London. The book will be available to purchase at both events. We hope you can join us.
