Throughout the twentieth century the Québécois have distinguished themselves from other Canadians by their willingness to transact their financial affairs with co-operative institutions. More than three-quarters of all French-speaking Québécois are currently members of one of these savings and loan societies. Based on a wide range of sources, In Whose Interest? is the first full-length history of the caisses written by someone without ties to the movement.
