The Gauntlet by Arthur Penty

The Gauntlet by Arthur Penty

Subtitled A Challenge to the Myth of Progress, this collection includes selections from Old Worlds for New, Post-Industrialism, Towards a Christian Sociology, and Means and Ends. This first-ever anthology of Penty's works presents a compelling vision both of what's wrong with the world and of what kind of socio-economic order would help to make it right. The writings in this volume provide a sampling of Penty's thorough and persuasive critique of the myths that dominate modern economic and social thought. They also outline his intellectual and practical program for the restoration of such essentials in economic life as the dignity of labor, justice in pricing, equity in property distribution, quality in craftsmanship, preservation of rural culture, and, above all, the recognition of spiritual truth as the foundation of all real economic order.

Arthur Penty (1875-1938) was described by G. K. Chesterton as the greatest of the Distributist theorists. He was an author, political activist, and architect. He wrote over 10 books on Distributist theory and the guild system. He was the originator of the Guild Socialist Movement in England. As a result, the National Guilds League was created in 1915.
