The reader will discover an activist, organizer, and key propagandist of the Catalan cooperative movement, whose work in founding the Regional Chamber of Cooperatives of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands and his presidency of the Regional Federation of Cooperatives of Catalonia (1920-1923) were fundamental. The book unravels his political trajectory, from freethought to the Radical Republican Party, and his role as a councilman in the Barcelona City Council, offering a complete vision of a hitherto little-known figure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat is it about?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe book recounts the life and work of Eladi Gardó i Ferrer, a multifaceted personality who dedicated his life to the cooperative movement and republican politics in Catalonia. At the end of the 19th century, he participated actively in the founding of the Regional Chamber of Cooperatives of Catalonia and the Balearic Islands, laying the foundations of the Catalan cooperative movement. Later, he distinguished himself for his campaigns in favor of joint purchasing and the creation of workers' cooperatives for the construction of affordable housing. In 1902, he was one of the founders of the Ateneu Enciclopèdic Popular. His political activity began in freethought, moved to socialism, and finally, he joined the Radical Republican Party, serving as a councilman in the Barcelona City Council between 1915 and 1920. Despite his importance, Gardó was a little-known figure, especially during the Second Republic, and this work seeks to rescue his legacy.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eMain themes\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eHistory of the Catalan cooperative movement\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eBiography of a political and social activist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eLabor movement and class struggle in early 20th-century Catalonia\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eRepublican politics and freethought\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\u003cli\u003eFounding and development of cooperative and cultural institutions\u003c\/li\u003e\n\n\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWho is it recommended for?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis book is aimed at readers interested in the social and political history of Catalonia, especially the cooperative and labor movements.
