Biography

Örne was born in 1881.[1] He received a bachelor's degree from Uppsala University.[1] As of 1911 he was the editor of Kooperatören, a magazine published by the Swedish Cooperative Society.[2] Later Örne became the secretary general of the Swedish Cooperative Society, and in 1918 he translated a document of the weavers cooperative in Rochdale which was the first cooperative to lay the foundations of these organizations in Sweden.[3] The document included a number of principles of operating cooperatives, and Örne employed the seventh principle as the basis of the organization of the Swedish cooperatives with some adaptations.[3] While serving in this post he was appointed minister of communications (transport) to the cabinet led by Prime Minister Hjalmar Branting in 1921.[4] He was also a member of the Riksdag for the Social Democratic Party between 1919 and 1934.[1][5] Then he served as the general director of the Post Office Administration in the period 1926–1946.[1][5]

Örne was the author of various books mostly on cooperatives[6] and advocated the idea of dual nationalism in his books which refers to the focus on individual countries in the Nordic region and also, on their common cultures and goals.[7] One of his books on cooperatives was translated into English in 1926.[8]

He died in 1956.[1]
