National Guilds and the State (Classic Reprint) by S. G. Hobson Pdf

Excerpt from National Guilds and the State There are several reasons for this curious anomaly. The new movement has not yet developed a popular writer. No young Cobbett has come our way; no young dramatist has been seised of the idea no young poet has captured rich raptures at our altar. They will arrive in good time we have just begun. I think, however, we must look deeper for the true explanation. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

The Meaning of National Guilds (Classic Reprint) by Maurice B. Reckitt Pdf

Excerpt from The Meaning of National Guilds But it is in regard to Labour that the War has Shown most clearly the rottenness of Capitalism. We have only to compare the wonderful record of the workers in the trenches with the chaos and confusion in the workshops at home to see that something is hopelessly wrong in industry - not with the men, but with the methods. Labour, after being consistently treated as nothing more than a commodity, a raw material, or one of the factors of production, was suddenly assured that it was the backbone of the nation, that our common fate depended upon its efforts, and that only in the workshops could victory be won. True as it was, this admission was made only partially and always grudgingly. Indeed, save for high-flown appeals to the workers to be worthy of the trust that had never been reposed in them, nothing was done to give effect to so Vital a discovery. As a consequence, Labour, after a short period of flounder ing in the realm of national idealism, was again dragged down by the brute necessity of the capit alist workshop and the brutish hypotheses of the capitalist ideology to its old level of mere opportunism.

National Guilds by S. G. Hobson Pdf

Excerpt from National Guilds: An Inquiry Into the Wage System, and the Way Out The substance of the following chapters appeared serially in The New Age during the years 1912-13. But for the origin of the idea on the Guilds as applied to modern industry an earlier date would have to be sought. Both the present Editor of The New Age in an article in the Contemporary Review of 1906, and Mr. A. J. Penty in his work on The Restoration of the Guild System of the same year, had put forward the suggestion that the Guild organisation was indispensable to higher industry at any rate. But whereas Mr. Penty confined his proposals to the mere restoration of the mediæval guild, without regard to modern conditions, it was in The New Age, during the period 1906-12, that the idea of the national guild was first brought into relation both with historical and with recent economic development. And the present work, the first ever published on the subject, is the outcome of that period. The tide of Collectivism, however, was then and for some years afterwards too powerful to admit of even the smallest counter-current. Some experience of Collectivism in action and of political methods as distinct from economic methods was necessary before the mind of the Labour movement could be turned in another direction. This was brought about by the impulse known as Syndicalism which, in essence, is the demand of Labour to control its industry.

Guild Socialism by G. D. H. Cole Pdf

Excerpt from Guild Socialism: A Plan for Economic Democracy This book does not claim to be an authoritative statement of Guild Socialism in the sense that it would be accepted by all, or by a majority of, Guild Socialists. There is, I am glad to say, no such thing as a strict Guild orthodoxy; and for the most part it can only claim to be an expression of personal opinion. I think, however, that where the matters discussed in it have been the subject-matter of actual Conference decisions of the National Guilds League, the views here taken will be found to be substantially in agreement with those ex pressed by the League. This can be seen by a reference to the reports published by the League, in which the most important of its Conference decisions are contained.

Guilds and Co-Operatives in Italy (Classic Reprint) by Odon Por Pdf

Excerpt from Guilds and Co-Operatives in Italy Por speaks about an alliance with the State but I am sure he knows what power has already been generated in the Guild organizations, and is con fident they can hold their own against the Caesarism which so easily springs up in administrators and Government officials. Besides I realize that some time the warming of the coldest of all cold monsters must be attempted; and it can only be done when the humanity of the people is power fully entrenched in organizations which they have themselves created and which' are true expressions of their character. The Italian guildsmen have done so much that they may accomplish the miracle of making the State the kindly big brother of the individual; and no doubt it will become more efficient by the creation of Vocational Councils through which the thought of the wisest in every branch of national life may converge purely on the State, not muddled by an admixture with non expert opinion, as it is in democratic assemblies where everybody's finger may legally be inserted in everybody else's pie.

Democratic Socialism in Britain by David Reisman Pdf

Socialists are united far more by their shared opposition to anomic individualism than by their commitment to any single interpretative scheme or body of beliefs. However, the 42 texts by the 27 socialists represented in this collection show that, in spite of the striking differences, there are certain crucial similarities and points of convergence. These volumes show that in Britain, at least in the years from 1825-1952, the democrats who called themselves socialists tended to concentrate their discussion around four common themes that served as the core of their common cause: quest for community, the institution of equality, the rehabilitation of the state, and transition by consent. The classic texts contained in these ten volumes, which encompass the Ricardian socialists, the Christian socialists, and the Fabian socialists, seek to make human interaction and social responsibility the centrepiece of economic debate from a variety of ideological perspectives. These key contributions to British thought between 1825 and 1952 are still a source of stimulus to students of political economy even as they have acquired the status of great historical works.

The Origin of the Family, Private Property and the State by Friedrich Engels Pdf

The most influential theory of the origins of women's oppression in the modern era, in a beautiful new edition In this provocative and now-classic work, Frederick Engels explores the interrelated development of the family and the state from ancient society to the Victorian era. Drawing on new anthropological theories of his time, Engels argued that matriarchal communal societies had been overthrown by class society and its emphasis on private, not communal, property and monogamous, rather than polygamous, sexual organization. This historical development, Engels argued, constituted "the world-historic defeat of the female sex." A masterclass in the application of materialist thought to history and anthropology, and touching on love, monogamy, property, and the development of the human, this landmark work is still foundational in Marxist and socialist feminist theory.

Guilds in the Middle Ages by Georges Renard Pdf

The origin of guilds has been the subject of a great deal of discussion, and two opposing theories have been advanced. According to the first theory they were the persistence of earlier institutions; but what were these institutions? Some say that, more particularly in the south of France, they were of Roman and Byzantine origin, and were derived from those collegia of the poorer classes (tenuiorum) which, in the last centuries of the Empire, chiefly concerned themselves with the provision of funerals; or, again, from the scholae, official and compulsory groups, which, keeping the name of the hall in which their councils assembled, prolonged their existence till about the year 1000.

Guild Socialism Restated by G D H Cole Pdf

Guild Socialism Restated is G D H Cole’s fullest and most systematic account of his vision of industrial and political reorganization. The introductory chapters of the volume develop the theme of democratic citizenship in relation to industrial society. Cole contends that neither capitalism nor state socialism can adequately meet the fundamental requirements of democracy because neither provides institutions through which active citizenship can be achieved. He insists that the latter can only be realized in the realm of industrial relations. The central chapters of the book develop a view of socialist organization in which citizenship is a vital ingredient in every arena – from that of the workplace to national policymaking.
