Edward Albert Filene (1860-1937) was a businessman and reformer creating one of the first worker cooperatives for self-management at Filene's Department Store in Boston. His automatic markdown plan was highly successful (known later as Filene's Basement). He also worked increasingly on political and social reform and even drew Lincoln Steffens to Boston to help him plan a broad campaign for city betterment. Far too visionary and impatient, he lost control of Filene's in 1928 but went on to become an ardent New Dealer. "Cooperative" is an offprint from The Annals of the American Academy of Political and Social Science, Philadelphia, May, 1915; "American's Impressions" is from The Outlook, (ca 1915); "Trade Expansion" was An Address Delivered at the Annual Meeting of the Chamber of Commerce of the United States in Washington, D.C; and "Economic Conditions After the War" was an Address Delivered...Before the Cleveland Chamber of Commerce on Tuesday, October 5, 1915.
