About

Why did mutuals occur and what purposes did/do they serve? Some of Britain's greatest financial institutions have been mutuals, especially in the life insurance and building society spheres.

A third group are successful, thriving enterprises, serving the needs of their members. What are the peculiar risks and opportunities associated with mutuality? Is size an issue?
