ABSTRACT
This chapter provides a purely morphological standpoint to obtain as clear a view as possible of the development of the organization of labour from the simplicity of clanship times to our own late capitalistic phase with all its complications. It shows that all organized Labour is performed by simple co-operation, differentiation, or a combination of the two. In the mid capitalistic phase the struggle between the rival organizations reached a decisive point. With the invention of machines, an enormous expansion of capitalistic enterprise took place, and it was inevitable that in the struggle for supremacy that followed the small domestic industries went to the wall. New forms may influence the old ones favourably or unfavourably. Some have had a time of prosperity, and become stunted or have even disappeared, and others through their whole development moved on from strength to strength.
