The house of Industry : a new estate of the realm, S. 133

APPENDIX I03

The levelling up will doubtless involve some levelling down, but the net difference will be an increase in the wage bill to a degree impossible under competitive and private control, but easy under socialised and coordinated output of wealth. The evolutionary change now before our eyes points unmistakably to the need of a new instrument like the House of Industry with which to do this new job of enormously fruitful dimensions.
