Economic participation in revolutionary 17th century England. A closer look at Gerrard Winstanley

More about the book

Focusing on George Winstanley's radical vision for political and economic participation in post-Civil War England, this paper explores his unique contributions among seventeenth-century political philosophers. It analyzes his writings, including "The Law of Freedom in a Platform" and "An Appeale to all Englishmen," to illustrate his ideas and their relevance to contemporary discussions on republicanism. The study aims to deepen the understanding of Winstanley's influence and the context of his thought following the execution of Charles I.
