Notes

Edward Alexander Partridge (1861–1931) was a Saskatchewan farmer, agrarian reformer, and co-founder of the Grain Growers' Grain Company. A tireless critic of capitalism and industrial exploitation, he played a central role in Canada's early cooperative movement and agrarian activism. After decades of organizing and writing, Partridge distilled his social, political, and spiritual views into his 1925 self-published work A War on Poverty, written in the twilight of his life following personal and political disillusionment.

A War on Poverty: The One War That Can End War (1925) is a utopian-socialist tract combining Partridge’s critiques of capitalism with elements of Christian idealism and cooperative economics. Presented as a medley of vison and social theory, the book calls for the establishment of a “Co-operative Commonwealth” to replace exploitative systems with economic justice and social harmony.
