The Guild State; Its Principles and Possibilities

by Taylor George Robert Stirling (Creator)

Unlike some other reproductions of classic texts (1) We have not used OCR(Optical Character Recognition), as this leads to bad quality books with introduced typos. (2) In books where there are images such as portraits, maps, sketches etc We have endeavoured to keep the quality of these images, so they represent accurately the original artefact. Although occasionally there may be certain imperfections with these old texts, we feel they deserve to be made available for future generations to enjoy.

There was a very brief time period where IHS Press, in the mid-2000s, was publishing (or republishing, I should say) works that I can only call "libertarian socialism for Catholic traditionalists." Fun read. Though one wonders why we need to call it "guild socialism" since in other places what is being described is a sort of revolutionary syndicalism. I suppose the difference is that these guys based themselves off of a Christian worldview, etc. Bears a lot of similarity to the sort of generic non-communist radical "self-management" or "autogestion" or even "assemblyist" tendencies that we see in Europe and elsewhere in the 1960s.
