Guild Politics: A Practical Program For The Labor Party And The Cooperators (1921)

Guild Politics: A Practical Program For The Labor Party And The Cooperators (1921) by George Robert Stirling Taylor is a book that presents a practical program for the Labor Party and the Cooperators in the United Kingdom. The book argues that the guild system, which was prevalent in medieval Europe, can be adapted to modern times and used as a model for organizing society. The author suggests that guilds can be used to promote cooperation and solidarity among workers, as well as to provide them with a sense of ownership and control over their work. The book also discusses the role of the state in regulating the guilds and ensuring that they operate in the best interests of the workers. The author argues that the guild system can help to create a more democratic and equitable society, and that it is a viable alternative to both capitalism and socialism. Overall, Guild Politics is a thought-provoking book that offers a unique perspective on how to organize society in a way that benefits workers and promotes social justice.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
