Guild Politics: A Practical Programme for the Labour Party the Co-Operators (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
A practical take on Labour’s future that connects politics with cooperative business for real change.
This book argues for a fresh approach to the Labour Party that links political strategy with the co‑operative movement. It examines how co‑ops can produce and distribute wealth, teach workers to share in enterprise, and limit capital’s dominance while strengthening democracy and local initiative.
It also acknowledges faults within co‑operation and outlines ways to align moral aims with practical reforms. The text discusses profit sharing, limited returns on capital, and a push toward a more decentralized economy that values small stores, local leadership, and accountable management.
- Shows how worker‑led production and distribution can reduce dependence on traditional capitalists.
- Describes profit sharing and dividend ideas that involve workers and customers alike.
- Emphasizes local initiative, decentralised retail, and avoiding heavy central control.
- Explores reforms such as value taxation and land nationalisation as part of a broader vision.
Ideal for readers seeking a historical, concrete argument for reforming the economy through Labour and cooperative principles.
