INTRODUCTION
BACKGROUND
OF THE STUDY
There are
different economic systems, which exist in the world economy. Among these
systems, three types are prominent namely, Socialist, capitalist, Mixed
Economic system. The socialist system is seen as a type of economy where all
the activity and sector of the economy are controlled by the government. This
implies that there is government ownership on every investment in the system.
Today, socialism is giving in to other type of economic system in that most
countries of the world that practice socialism are losing their holds in the
economy of their respective country. The union of soviet socialist republic
(U.S.S.R) is a good example of such dwindling socialist country.
Capitalism on the
other hand is a reserve of what is obtainable in a socialist economy. This is
because capitalism is seen as an economic system whose individual controls the
economic activities of the country. It is characterized by an interplay of the
market force , E.I. force of demand and supply, cut the throat competition and
indiscriminate like in the price of goods and services.
A mix economy is an
economic which comprises the features of the socialist and the capitalist
economy. In a mixed economic system, there is joint ownership of the factors of
production by the government and private entrepreneurs. The private interprise
takes count of the key service, which is special to the masses. It is too
exhurbitant to procure or reserve for the social class. The government
therefore takes charge of the administration. Statutory service in a mixed
economy system. The individuals on the other hand exercises the legal right of
embarking on any type of business enterprise as the demands
This price work
emphasis on how capitalist system of economy affects the co-operatives society
and the opportunity they have to excel. In there drive towards archiving their
set objectives, they face a lot of challenges especially those that are posed
by the capitalist businessmen. The project look into he very nature of
capitalism and its general principles as it affects the growth of the
co-operative society is analyzed.
Co-operative started
as a proverbial necessity being the mother of invention. It arose in the 19th
century out of the atrocities of the shrewd capitalist businessmen. The
adulteration of the commodities , the use of false weight, unemployment was
rife, wages were extremely low and below the subsistence level among others.
This is because capitalist businessman is aimed at maximizing profit. At the
detriment of the consumers. As a result of this , the spirit of cooperation in
the minds of the great father of the movement and a form of business enterprise
which by its principle and practice a negative attitude towards capitalism
emerge and still remains today as what it knows as and is referred to as the
co-operative societies.
STATEMENT OF PROBLEM
Most often, business activities are faced
with numerous problems, which hinders archiving of their objective. Some of
this problem is posed by the vagaries in the economy such as inflation. Why
some arises as a result of the type of the type of the economic system in which
the business enterprise operates. This project take a direct look into the
problem posed by capitalism to a unique form of business enterprise known as
the co-operative society. Giving a case of study of Abia state, the activities
of capitalist businessmen and the problem it poses against the growth and the
development of the co-operative societies are disused. Co-operative society is
faced with many problems in a capitalist economy, which hinders their growth
and development. Such problem that the cooperative society has to contend with
the capitalist economy includes;

STUDY
He important of this
research work cannot be overemphasis, this is because this writ-up will brig up
the hidden problems that the cooperative societies are facing and at the same
time put up some suggestion that will help in solving this problems.
This will ensure proper and
well-articulated programme aimed at withstanding the problems posed by the
capitalist concept. This can be attributed to people’s ovine to maximize profit
and this brought about serous competition in the economy. In the wake of this,

the bad business practices with the aim of bridging a relief to the poor masses
by breaking the chains of capitalism.
This believe will usher in a new
socio-economic world where the suffering populates will enjoy some form of
economic freedom
