Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Guilds and Co-Operatives in Italy
Por speaks about an alliance with the State but I am sure he knows what power has already been generated in the Guild organizations, and is con fident they can hold their own against the Caesarism which so easily springs up in administrators and Government officials. Besides I realize that some time the warming of the coldest of all cold monsters must be attempted; and it can only be done when the humanity of the people is power fully entrenched in organizations which they have themselves created and which' are true expressions of their character. The Italian guildsmen have done so much that they may accomplish the miracle of making the State the kindly big brother of the individual; and no doubt it will become more efficient by the creation of Vocational Councils through which the thought of the wisest in every branch of national life may converge purely on the State, not muddled by an admixture with non expert opinion, as it is in democratic assemblies where everybody's finger may legally be inserted in everybody else's pie.
