From Artisan to Worker examines the largely overlooked debate over
the potential reestablishment of guilds that occurred from 1776 to
1821. The abolition of guilds in 1791 overturned an organization of
labor that had been in place for centuries. The disorder that
ensued - from concerns about the safety of the food supply to a
general decline in the quality of goods - raised strong doubts
about their abolition and sparked a debate both inside and outside
of government that went on for decades. The issue of the
reestablishment of guilds, however, subsequently became intertwined
with the growing mechanization of production. Under the Napoleonic
regime, the government considered several projects to restore
guilds in a large-scale fashion, but the counterargument that
guilds could impede mechanization prevailed. After Bonaparte's
fall, the restored Bourbon dynasty was expected to reorganize
guilds, but its sponsorship of an industrial exhibition in 1819
signaled its endorsement of mechanization, and after 1821 there
were no further efforts to restore guilds during the Restoration.
