Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from Co-Operation In a recent speech Mr. Balfour says "that the question our nation needs to study is not that of distribution but that of production." In a country producing wealth to the amount of £1,450,000,000 in a year, which, equally distributed, would give an income of £165 per annum to every group of five, such a statement appears somewhat belated. We may claim to have solved the problem of how to produce enough, and the question which confronts us, as we compare this wealth with a "submerged tenth," a class constantly on the verge of Starvation, workers whose means of existence is precarious and a system of trade which constantly allows whole industries to be overwhelmed with destruction, is how to bring distribution into line with the productive capacity of our people. This demand is not a new one; it was voiced by James Stuart Mill, by Robert Owen, by Charles Kingsley, and Arnold Toynbee; it is the seed from which sprung Trades Unionism, the Socialist movement, the Temperan agitation, the Friendly Societies, and the great Co-operative organisation of to-day. The problem arose when the introduction of machinery created a revolution in the life, the industrial organisation and the social relationships of England. The factory system, the steam engine in mining, and the cognate growths in labour power were the first steps in co-operative production, the industrial-economic efforts of the workers have been attempts to introduce the same principle into the distributive agencies. Robert Owen became the voice crying in the wilderness of competition, that the way should be prepared for a better system of society and the path made straight for the advance of humanity to a juster order.
