Beatrice Webbová

    22. leden 1858 – 30. duben 1943

    Tato vlivná socioložka a ekonomka se hluboce zabývala dějinami práce a sociální reformou. Její práce se vyznačovala precizním výzkumem a odhodláním dosáhnout společenských změn. Zavedla klíčový pojem „kolektivní vyjednávání“ a spoluzaložila prestižní instituce, které formovaly sociální a ekonomické myšlení. Její odkaz spočívá v trvalém dopadu na moderní sociální politiku a dělnické hnutí.

      Published in 1923, this book is a Marxist critique of capitalism by one of the founders of the London School of Economics. Webb argues that the decline of capitalism is not only inevitable but necessary for the progress of humanity. She suggests that the rise of the working class and the emergence of socialist movements will lead to the downfall of capitalism and the creation of a more just society.
