Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. Centuries after the Napoleonic wars, labor unions became integral to the industrial landscape. Yet before their inception, the organization of labor remained a topic of fierce debate. This book, delving into the history of labor guilds in New Spain, sheds light on the role of social and Catholic principles in labor organization and offers unique perspectives on the evolution of these unions. The author contends that the medieval Catholic theory of social organization is crucial for understanding labor organization, a theory that emphasizes spiritual realities, democratic management, protection for workers, quality of goods, and the sacramentalizing of government. This book presents the translated statutes for the guilds of Mexico City, originally published in 1920. These statutes, issued by the city's council and often confirmed by the viceroy, provide valuable insights into the organization, technical standards, and spiritual practices of these guilds. The author's analysis reveals that these guilds were not merely economic institutions but also vehicles for spiritual and social cohesion, integrating religious principles into the organization and practices of the labor force. This study provides a rich understanding of the historical development of labor unions and illuminates the enduring relevance of social and spiritual principles in the organization of labor.
