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 author argues that the existing political and economic systems are flawed and cannot provide for the needs of the people. He proposes a new system based on guilds, which would be associations of workers and employers in each industry. These guilds would be responsible for setting wages and working conditions, as well as for managing the production and distribution of goods and services. The author believes that this system would be more democratic and efficient than the existing system, as it would give workers and employers a greater say in the economic decisions that affect them. The book also discusses the role of the state in this new system, arguing that it should be limited to providing basic services and regulating the guilds. Overall, Guild Politics is a thought-provoking book that offers a radical vision for a more democratic and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
