ABSTRACT The thesis argues that the most distinctive feature of the Labour Church was Theological Socialism. For its founder, John Trevor, Theological Socialism was the literal Religion of Socialism, a post-Christian prophecy announcing the dawn of a new utopian era explained in terms of the Kingdom of God on earth; for members of the Labour Church, who are referred to throughout the thesis as Theological Socialists, Theological Socialism was an inclusive message about God working through the Labour movement. By focussing on Theological Socialism the thesis challenges the historiography and reappraises the significance of the Labour

  • Ethel Snowden
    Ethel Snowden From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Ethel Snowden Ethel Snowden, Viscountess Snowden, born Ethel Annakin (8 September 1881 – 22 February 1951), was a British socialist, human rights activist, and feminist politician. From a middle-class background, she became a Christian Socialist through a radical preacher and initially promoted temperance and teetotalism in the slums of Liverpool. She aligned to the Fabian Society and later the Independent Labour Party, earning an income by lecturing in Britain and abroad. Snowden was one of the leading campaigners for women's suffrage before the First World War, then founding The Women's Peace Crusade to oppose the war and call for a negotiated peace. After a visit to the Soviet Union she developed a strong criticism of its system, which made her unpopular when relayed to the left-wing in Britain. Snowden married the prominent Labour Party politician and future Chancellor of the Exchequer, Philip Snowden. She rose up the social scale in the 1920s, much to her pleasure, and she welcomed appointment as a Governor of the BBC and as a Director of the Royal Opera House. Although her husband received a Viscountcy, money became tight and she led the way in caring for him; after his death, she resumed temperance campaigning as well as journalism. She tended to be a controversial public speaker, who would fill with enthusiasm for a project and pursue it to the disregard of anything that stood in her way; it was said of her that "tact or discretion were foreign to her nature".[1] Woman's suffrage

  • "On an Equal Footing with Men?" Women and Work at the BBC, 1923
    “ON AN EQUAL FOOTING WITH MEN?” WOMEN AND WORK AT THE BBC, 1923-1939 Catherine Murphy Goldsmiths College University of London PhD 2011 1 Declaration of Authorship I, Catherine Murphy, hereby declare that all the material contained in this thesis is my own work. 2 Abstract This thesis is a study of women’s employment in the BBC during the 1920s and 1930s and poses the questions – what was the BBC like as a place for women to work, and how equal were they? While there has been wide research into a variety of aspects of the BBC during the inter-war years, to date there has been only cursory consideration of the role of women in the Company/Corporation. The BBC is a particularly significant organisation to study because women worked at all levels, apart from the very top; as charwomen and kitchen hands; as secretaries and clerical staff; as drama producers, advertising representatives and Children’s Hour Organisers. Prior to the Second World War, three women, Hilda Matheson, Mary Somerville and Isa Benzie, attained Director status. The BBC viewed itself as a progressive employer, one that supported equal promotion prospects and equal pay. However, understated sexual discrimination was commonplace and in 1932, a Marriage Bar was introduced. The practice of marriage bars was widespread in the inter-war years yet the BBC was never fully committed to its bar and ‘exceptional’ married women and women judged to be useful to the Corporation continued to be employed and retained. This study considers the many different experiences of women and work at the BBC: married and single, waged and the salaried, young and old; graduate and non-graduate.

Libertarian socialists believe in converting present-day private productive property into the commons or public goods, while retaining respect for personal property[5]. Libertarian socialism is opposed to coercive forms of social organization. It promotes free association in place of government and opposes the social relations of capitalism, such as wage labor.[6] The term libertarian socialism is used by some socialists to differentiate their philosophy from state socialism[7][8] or by some as a synonym for left anarchism.[1][2][9] Adherents of libertarian socialism assert that a society based on freedom and equality can be achieved through abolishing authoritarian institutions that control certain means of production and subordinate the majority to an owning class or political and economic elite.[10] Libertarian socialism also constitutes a tendency of thought that

Any use made of information contained in this thesis/dissertation must be in accordance with that legislation and must be properly acknowledged. Further distribution or reproduction in any format is prohibited without the permission of the copyright holder. ABSTRACT This thesis explores the lives of four British Quaker women—Isabella Ford, Isabel Fry, Margery Fry, and Ruth Fry—focusing on the way they engaged in peace issues in the early twentieth century. In order to examine the complexity and diversity of their experiences, this thesis investigates the characteristics of their Quakerism, pacifism and wider political and personal life, as well as the connections between them. In contrast to O’Donnell’s view that most radical Victorian Quaker women left Quakerism to follow their political pursuits with like-minded friends outside of Quakerism, Isabella Ford, one of the most radical socialists, and feminists among Quakers remained as a Quaker. British Quakers were divided on peace issues but those who disagreed with the general Quaker approach resigned and were not disowned; the case of Isabel Fry is a good example of this.

  • 1 Capitalism with Compassion: the Effect of Introducing Market-Based
    Capitalism with Compassion: The Effect of Introducing Market-Based Wages on Attitudes Towards Free Markets and Socialism Ran Abramitzky Netanel Ben-Porath Shahar Lahad Victor Lavy Michal Palgi Stanford University Hebrew University Hebrew University Hebrew University, University of Haifa and NBER University of Warwick and NBER PRELIMINARY AND INCOMPLETE March 2021 Abstract We study the effects of labor market liberalization on attitudes towards free-market capitalism and socialism, exploiting a sharp reform whereby Israeli kibbutzim shifted away from equal sharing into market-based wages. Our identification strategy relies on the sharp and staggered implementation of this reform in different kibbutzim. We measure attitudes towards a market economy, capitalism, and socialism in surveys one of us (M. Palgi) has conducted annually over the past 25 years. The reform led to increased support of free-market policies such as full privatization and differential wages. It decreased support of socialist policies such as the joint ownership of production means and the Marxist principle from the ability to needs. Simultaneously, the reform also increased support for the safety net to support weak members through mutual assurance. These effects appear to be driven by an increase in living standards and work ethics that resulted from the reform. To study behavior associated with the attitudes we study, we document that the reform led to a shift in political preferences, resulting in a decreased support to left-wing political parties and increased support for center parties in national elections. Overall, we conclude that introducing market-based wages led to a shift in attitudes towards a market economy with compassion, revealing a change from their traditional democratic socialist model to a social democratic model.

  • Why Socialism Can't Ever Work
    WHY SOCIALISM CAN’T EVER WORK By Katherine Dang PRESUPPOSITION • Socialism’s promise or “work” is to close the economic gap between the rich and the poor or to “help people” in hopes for an end to material inequality • “The collapse of the Soviet Union in 1989 delivered the final blow to the belief in socialism. in the traditional sense of government ownership and operation of the means of production as either feasible or desirable. Those who profess socialism today mean by it a welfare state . Milton Friedman, Economist • Socialism’s premise : human nature has a predisposition for selfish gain and social injustice, which needs to be reconstructed by external forces (intimidation by the threat of penalty) until it is predisposed to contribute self-sacrificingly into the common “store” of the common good, that is collected for redistribution • the individual is subordinated to society; his needs—dietary, educational, health care, housing, wages, etc.—are decided collectively • the individual is made dependent upon society for his well being so he willingly respond to urgings that we each cooperate to establish and maintain the common good; a “group-centered worker bee” • create a social miracle—perfecting a social environment which will perfect human nature • Socialism’s policies are taxation and tyrannical tactics • “Congress, through the tax code, to confiscate the earnings of one American to give to another American in the forms of prescription drugs, Social Security, food stamps, farm subsidies or airline bailouts. It forcibly uses one person to serve the purposes of another.” • “It’s a problem of socialism where one person is forced to take care of another.

  • Voluntary Socialism; a Sketch
    VOLUNTARY SOCIALISM A SKETCH BY FRANCIS DASHWOOD TANDY " Equality if we Cun get it, l but liberty at any ra e." Benj. R. Tucker. DENVER, COLORADO: FRANCIS D. TANDY, PUBLISHER 1896 T3 TO BENJAMIN R. TUCKER, EDITOR OF "LIBERTY," WHOSE LUCID WRITINGS AND SCATHING CRITICISMS HAVE DONE SO MUCH TO DISPEL THE CLOUDS OF ECONOMIC SUPERSTITION, THIS LITTLE BOOK IS AFFECTIONATELY DEDICATED BY HIS PUPIL. PREFACE. "Can't you recommend some book which will give me a brief but lucid outline of your ideas?" is a ques- tion with which every propagandist is familiar. In spite of the extent and excellence of the literature of "Voluntaryism," I have often found it difficult to supply this demand. It was, therefore, with the idea of helping myself that I undertook to write this sketch. But I trust that my wo-rk will not prove useless to others. It was my original intention to make the book so plain and simple, that almost any one could un- derstand it. But the intricacies of the subject are very great. And, while I have always aimed at simplicity of expression, I fear that those at least who are not familiar with the terms used in eco- nomic discussions, will find it hard to follow me in places. I have endeavored to give a complete outline of the subject in its most important bearings. If the reader would blame me for omitting some phases of the question, I must inform him that the main diffi- culty with which I have had to contend, has been'to keep the work within small limits.
