More about the book

Arthur J. Penty's The Restoration of the Gild System is a pioneering work of social theory that argues for a return to the medieval guild system as a means of addressing the social and economic problems of the modern world. With a mix of historical analysis, political philosophy, and economic theory, Penty makes a compelling case for the revival of this ancient system of apprenticeship and mastership. This book is sure to challenge readers to think deeply about the nature of work, community, and economic justice.
