Mutuality has become a topic of debate recently for a whole range of academics and social commentators. The 'demutualisation' of banks and building societies has been partnered by the idea of a 'new mutualism', forming a set of social values and beliefs, and this collection looks at the manifestations of these trends and the implications for the future.
