Excerpt from The Meaning of National Guilds: With a New Preface and a New Chapter on Current Problems; Bolshevism, the Social Theory of Functional Democarcy, the Expansion of the Co-Operative Movement, Major Douglas's Credit Proposals, the Building Guilds Movement The demand for 'a new edition of this book imposes upon its authors a task which even if it were not welcomed as an Opportunity, might none the less have had to have been accepted as a duty. That task, which we are undertaking in this revised edition, with a full sense of our own inadequacy and of the inadequacy of the narrow compass into which it must be compressed, is essentially the continuation of the original purpose with which our book was first planned namely, to set in true perspective the essentials of the Guild idea. We make no further claims, either to originality or to orthodoxy. It appears to us probable that the demand which has caused the first edition of this book to be exhausted was due to a desire to envisage as a consistent whole the principles and policy comprehended in the term National Guilds. The propagandists of this idea had not been backward in explaining the various articles of their belief, even to the length of changing their minds about them in the full hearing of a public invited, even importuned, to give a listening ear. The public on its side had not shown itself indifferent, though displaying perhaps more curiosity than understanding. But alike in the interests of producer and con sumer of Guild ideas, we felt the time had arrived for an effort to reveal the wood without omitting altogether to estimate the beauty and value of its trees. The past two years have seen many vpart fruitfully, amongst Guild of the public appears rather to appeased. We cannot hope' ci controversies, or fully to sat] but the occasion would seen attempt to estimate afresh in 1 two years and for today the National Guilds.
