This article focuses on the increasing interest in consumer movements in the U.S. Cooperative have expanded. Buying groups have been formed. The government has set up consumer advisory boards. Popular magazines have featured articles on the long-established cooperatives of Europe. Never has there been such a wave of enthusiasm "to do something for the consumer." Few attempts have been made to analyze this profusion of recent, consumer developments. Many have discovered the consumer; not all are agreed on just what to do with him now that he has been discovered. As a result conflicts exist today in the consumer movement, which are reminiscent of struggles in the labor movement.
