National Guilds and the State

'National Guilds and the State' (1920) explores the theory of National Guilds, a form of guild socialism advocating worker control of industry within a state framework. Written by S.G. Hobson and M.W. Robieson, the book examines the relationship between these guilds and the state, proposing a system where workers’ organizations play a central role in economic governance. This historical text provides insights into early 20th-century debates about socialism, industrial organization, and the role of the state. It remains relevant for understanding alternative economic models and the historical development of socialist thought.This work has been selected by scholars as being culturally important, and is part of the knowledge base of civilization as we know it.
