guild socialism

(20th century)

Theory of pluralism and workers' control developed in Great Britain.

Workers should control their own crafts and industries, but should be responsible to the interests of society as a whole through representative institutions based on occupation rather than geographical constituencies.

This was a compromise between syndicalism and social democracy.
