ABSTRACT

At the end of this exposition of the theory and policy of Guild Socialism, there is a question which obviously suggests itself. Both the theory and the policy which I have been describing have been developed in Great Britain and in direct relation to British conditions. Are they, or are they not, of more general application? In other words, is Guild Socialism put forward as a scheme claiming the same validity as, for example, Socialism itself claims, or as the Guild system possessed in the Middle Ages?
