The New Trades Combination Movement, Vol. 1 (Classic Reprint): Its Principles, Methods and Progress: Its Principles, Methods and Progress (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Explore a bold plan to reshape how trades work and how prices are found. This book lays out the New Trades Combination Movement, a practical approach to reduce cut‑throat competition by group action and shared cost knowledge. It argues for fair profits, fair wages, and a stronger link between business and the public good.

The text frames a system where costs are taken and analyzed by a whole trade, not just by individual firms. It describes how manufacturers of all sizes can cooperate, exchange ideas, and set common standards to prevent unfair practices. The author connects these ideas to broader questions about justice, industry, and consumer interests, offering a historical and practical look at a changing economy.

• How cost-taking and cost comparison can influence selling prices.


• Why cooperation among manufacturers might curb rivalry and monopoly.


• What the movement means for workers, capital, and the consumer.


• Examples from trades where the method has taken hold and shown results.
