Trust Among Strangers: Friendly Societies in Modern Britain
Ismay, Penelope (Boston College, Massachusetts)
Friendly societies provided mutual aid to many working class Britons during the nineteenth century. But these societies were just one iteration of a larger conceptual mode of organizing reciprocity. This book traces the ways in which contemporaries adapted the concept to make promises of collective responsibility effective - even among strangers.
