Guild socialism has frequently been regarded as a cul-de-sac in
social and economic thought. However, this work demonstrates its
continued relevance. Focusing on the Douglas Social Credit
movement, it examines the origin of the key ideas, gives an
overview of the main theories, and discusses their subsequent
history. Douglas is credited with being the author of a simple,
ingenious but erroneous proposal to end depression in the inter-war
years. The Social Credit Government which held power in Alberta
during the middle decades of the century is equally remembered in
association with Douglas. Although the Canadian party arose from an
interpretation of the texts attrubuted to Douglas, its policies had
little in common with the original texts. Historical documentation
of the social credit phenomenon has focused almost exclusively on
the Canadian experience. This work approaches the phenomenon from a
different perspective. It explores the guild socialist origins of
the texts and condenses the economic and social theory of the
original texts.
