This is a study of the historical evolution of the cooperative movement in the USA from 1920 to 1945 - examines the impact of economic recession, political problems and social change on the development of agriculture and of cooperatives, and includes political aspects, etc. Joseph G. Knapp dedicated his long and productive professional life to cooperatives. He first studied co-ops in 1925, when he did field studies of California's agricultural cooperatives.

He then went on to head the purchasing section of the Cooperative Research and Service Division of the Farm Credit Administration, and subsequently was division associate chief. When it became the Farmer Cooperative Services of the USDA, he became its administrator, serving until his retirement in 1966. He authored hundreds of articles and publications and many books, including Great American Cooperators's, The Rise of American Cooperative Enterprise: 1620-1920, and The Advance of Cooperative Enterprise: 1920-1945."

Apparently a group of American students visited this Soviet state run collective farm and this book was a souvenir and has been signed by over a dozen Soviet youth to American students and bears an inscription in Russian apparently commemorating their visit. Collective farming and communal farming are various types of "agricultural production in which multiple farmers run their holdings as a joint enterprise". There are two broad types of communal farms: agricultural cooperatives, in which member-owners jointly engage in farming activities as a collective, and state farms, which are owned and directly run by a centralized government. The process by which farmland is aggregated is called collectivization. In some countries (including the Soviet Union, the Eastern Bloc countries, China and Vietnam), there have been both state-run and cooperative-run variants. For example, the Soviet Union had both kolkhozy (cooperative-run farms) and sovkhozy (state-run farms). Soviet state farms began to be created in 1918 as an ideological example of "socialist agriculture of the highest order". Karavayevo is in Novgorodskaya Oblast so this book is a set of photographs from the mid-1950s showing life on a state-run farm in the vicinity of Karavayevo. More
