DOWNLOAD EBOOKExcerpt from Publications of the American Economic Association, 1890, Vol. 5 Industrial society is an integral part of the social organism, and its evolution is necessarily determined by those conditions which determine the evolution of society as a whole. In the course of European history many diverse phases of industry present themselves, but these always appear in strict harmony with the period of history to which they belong. In the development of industrial life from village-com munism to that which showed itself in the Medieval guilds, from the guilds to the age of national com petition, and from thence to the present regime of individual competition, each change has been accom panied by corresponding changes in law, in politics, and in the arts. And however strange these old industrial systems appear to modern eyes, they find a true defense in the conditions from which they sprang.
