Excerpt from The Real Democracy: First Essays of the Rota Club
Three members of the Rota Club, in these its first Essays, have sought to explain and defend the principle of Property. They have therefore referred that principle to the record of the past, to present fact, and to certain root principles in morals and politics.
They believe that the lesson to be learnt from such reference is this: -
The characteristic virtue of Property can be retained only in a state where property is possessed by at least so many as a determining majority of the citizens, and by each of these in severalty.
Political power, in a nation-state like England, necessarily depends on economic resource. Therefore, although there are other kinds of property, each of them capable of fulfilling a human need, it is for Property in the Means of Production that Englishmen to-day should keep their immediate and most definite concern.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the concept of property in the context of history, arguing that it is a crucial factor in distributing economic and political power. The author believes that true democracy is only possible when a nation's property is predominantly owned by its citizens and not concentrated in the hands of a few. The author explores the development of the Gild System in the Middle Ages, which aimed to protect workers and consumers and promote fairness in trade. However, the Gild System declined due to the rise of capitalism, government intervention favoring capital, and the failure of the Gilds to adapt to changing economic circumstances. The book traces the subsequent rise of the Proletarian State, characterized by a small, wealthy elite owning the means of production and a large, impoverished class with no economic security. This system, despite its claims of necessity, undermines demand and stifles economic growth. The author concludes that true democracy and economic prosperity require a fairer distribution of property.
