Guilds, Trade And Agriculture (1921)

By Arthur Joseph Penty

Book Overview

Guilds, Trade and Agriculture is a book written by Arthur J. Penty in 1921. The book explores the history and importance of guilds in medieval Europe, particularly in relation to trade and agriculture. Penty argues that guilds played a crucial role in the development of these industries, providing a framework for apprenticeships, training, and regulation. He also discusses the decline of guilds in the modern era and the rise of industrial capitalism, which he believes has led to a loss of craftsmanship and quality in products. The book is a comprehensive study of guilds and their impact on society, and offers insights into the history and evolution of trade and agriculture.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
