Rethinking work, wages, and local life for a democratic economy
This book argues that real economic democracy must balance national forces with vibrant, local communities. It challenges centralization and asks how guilds can guide production, wages, and culture without stifling creativity.
In a clear, provocative voice, the author examines how capitalism and wage systems shape what we make, how we live, and what we value. The discussion spans the role of education, industry, and the “permanent hypothesis” that underpins power in the economy, offering a path toward more humane work and meaningful leisure.Les informations fournies dans la section « Synopsis » peuvent faire référence à une autre édition de ce titre.

Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book explores the fundamental shift in the relationship between labor and capital in the early 20th century, arguing for a new economic model based on the principle of partnership. The author traces the evolution of the wage system, beginning with the Industrial Revolution and its impact on feudal society, and how it became the dominant system of labor, despite its inherent flaws. The author examines the rise of trade unions and the limitations of political solutions for addressing the inherent inequalities of the wage system. The central theme of the book is the need for a new industrial system that recognizes the value of labor not as a mere commodity but as a key partner in production. The author proposes the formation of National Guilds, self -governing organizations that encompass all aspects of an industry, from management to labor, and proposes the abolition of the wage system. This book offers a compelling vision of a more just and equitable industrial future and presents a powerful critique of the prevailing economic order.
