ABSTRACT

The Christian Democratic movements appreciate, like Liberals, the value of competition, and, like Socialists, that of State planning and control. But in the field of work, as everywhere, they are chiefly interested in human personality, and so in building up the co-operative, self-governing, industrial communities which seem to them most likely to favour its development. Their ideas about industrial organisation centre chiefly round two problems, those of industry-wide organisation and of workers’ participation in the firm.
