| Summary | "The Co-opolitan: A Story of the Co-operative Commonwealth of Idaho" by Zebina Forbush is a novel written in the late 19th century. This work delves into the trials and hopes of a group of individuals seeking to establish a co-operative society in Idaho during a period marked by economic distress. The narrative focuses on the main character, Mr. Braden, a young man who, despite initial personal losses, is drawn into the ambitious project led by a charismatic figure named John Thompson. At the start of the story, the author presents a backdrop of despair in 1897 America, where wealth disparity has left many in poverty despite the country's riches. The narrative introduces Braden as he navigates his way through Chicago, reflecting on his losses while encountering Thompson, who introduces him to the ideas of co-operation as a remedy for social and economic inequalities. Their discussions ignite Braden's interest in the evolving co-operative vision that aims to establish a community where resources and responsibilities are shared, epitomized by the founding of Co-opolis in Idaho. The opening deftly sets the stage for the larger themes of community, idealism, and the pursuit of a new social order that will unfold throughout the work.
