Synopsis

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.
  • Explore how wage policy can be a engine for high-quality work and true prosperity
  • See why local life and regional pride matter for intellectual and artistic vitality
  • Learn how guild-inspired ideas could shape production, consumption, and governance
  • Consider the ethical questions of wealth, amenity, and the obligation to leisure
Ideal for readers of thoughtful critiques of modern work, economic reform, and local empowerment.
