Excerpt from Mid-America, Vol. 14: An Historical Review; July, 1931

But what these and similar writers fail to see is that this trait of group activity in man is not some expression of communistic living, but merely an expression of his social nature. Its proper recognition and the necessity of its proper functioning were grasped by the Catholic organizers of society, and the corporations of the Middle Ages were nothing but an attempt to express and guide this instinct. This is one of the great lessons of a study of the guilds for our age; but we, hypnotized by the excessive individualism of capitalistic society, fail to see it.
