塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯：节俭·摘录 222
塞缪尔·斯迈尔斯《节俭》· Thrift · 投资
That this is not an impracticable scheme, is capable of being easily proved. The practice of co-operation has long been adopted by workpeople throughout England. A large proportion of the fishery industry has been conducted on that principle for hundreds of years. Fishermen join in building, rigging, and manning a boat; the proceeds of the fish they catch at sea is divided amongst them--so much to the boat, so much to the fishermen. The company of oyster-dredgers of Whitstable "has existed time out of mind,"[2] though it was only in 1793 that they were incorporated by Act of Parliament. The tin-miners of Cornwall have also acted on the same principle. They have mined, washed, and sold the tin, dividing the proceeds among themselves in certain proportions,--most probably from the time that the Phoenicians carried away the produce to their ports in the Mediterranean.

白话
合作储蓄不是空想，很容易证明。英国各地工人早就实行合作了。渔业大部分几百年来就是按这个原则运作：渔民一起造船、装帆、雇人，出海捕的鱼按比例分，一份归船，一份归人。惠特斯特布尔的采蚝公司“自古以来就存在”，虽然直到1793年才经议会法案注册。康沃尔的锡矿工人也一样，采矿、洗矿、卖锡，按比例分钱，很可能从腓尼基人把锡运到地中海港口那个时代就开始了。这些例子说明，工人合伙经营、共享收益，是行得通的老办法，不是新发明。

斯迈尔斯在《节俭》中用渔业、采蚝、锡矿等行业的长期合作实践，证明工人合作可行。
今日一问
你身边有没有一群人已经在用合伙、共享的方式做事，只是你没把它当成一种模式？
