The Brigham City Co-Op: Case Study of an Efficient Economic and Social Institution

Year: 2019

Type: article

Abstract: The leaders of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints raced a twin dilemma in the years between 1868 to 1874. The specter of non-Mormon infiltration of society and destruction of the Mormon empire loomed menacingly on the horizon, and internal divisions and inequities threatened to destroy the religious ideals of unity and equality fostered by Mormons since the time of Joseph Smith, Jr. This twin crisis led Mormon leaders to institute church-wide economic and social programs of reform, culminating in 1874 with the establishment of the Second United Order of Enoch.
