Building an alternative economic network? Consumer cooperation in Scotland from the 1870s to the 1960s
There is growing interest in the ways in which, and the values according to which, economic activity is undertaken. For instance, mutual ownership has been identified as one means of helping to 'redeem' capitalism. This article engages with such issues by examining aspects of the behaviour of consumer cooperative societies in Scotland from the 1870s to the 1960s. It starts by discussing whether cooperatives represent a means of conceptualizing an…
Making reconnections in agro-food geography
This article reviews recent research into alternative systems of food provision. It considers, first, what the concept of`alternativeness' might mean, based on recent discussions in economic geography. Informed by this, it discusses food relocalization and the turn to `quality' food production, arguing that both are `weaker' alternative systems of food provision because of their emphasis on food. It then examines some `stronger' alternative syste…
Evaluating British Railway Poster Advertising
This article evaluates 15 pictorial advertising posters, produced by the London & North Eastern Railway (LNER) between 1923 and 1939, for their likely effectiveness as marketing tools for increasing train travel.

The author also discuss…

It outlines the socio-economic context for the emergence of the railway question. Contemporary responses to it are then examined, and it is argued that they form thr…
