Background
THOMPSON, William was born in 1775 in Cork, Ireland.
(Of later days, and in this country, conspicuous amongst t...)
Of later days, and in this country, conspicuous amongst the intellectual speculators or philosophers stands Mr. Godwin, the author of Political Justice. Equally enimenl amongst the. mechanical reasoners, particularly in his earlier productions, is Mr. Mai thus, whose treatise on the Principles of Population is become almost the text-book of a politicoeconomical sect. The Intellectual speculators, informed by their own feelings of the gentle, ever-springing, and all-sufficient pleasures of sympathy and intellectual culture, their animal wants being all comfortably supplied and therefore exciting little of their attention, little studious perhaps of the physical laws of nature, of the physical constitution of man and the beings that surround him, conscious of their own power of restraining and regulating what they regard as the grosser propensities of our nature, proclaim man as capable of attaining happiness by his mental powers alone, ahnost independent of material subordinate agency. To such a superiority have they elevated the thinking part of the human organization, as to suppose that man may hereafter, by the perfect use of it, will his own health independent of the material agents usually employed to promote it.

(Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Principles of the Distri...)
Excerpt from An Inquiry Into the Principles of the Distribution of Wealth Most Conducive to Human Happiness: Applied to the Newly Proposed System, Voluntary Equality of Wealth Upwards of a quarter of a century has elapsed, since the first edition of this work was published, and it may be said to have then fallen still-born from the press. At that time men's minds were not prepared for its advanced teachings. It was, and still is, avowedly, no part of the object of the class of writers called "Political Economists" to institute "an inquiry into the principles of the distribution of wealth most conducive to human happiness." Their conceptions have been by no means so rational, so extended, or so dignified. The accumulation of wealth, or capital, and especially in large masses, has been their primary object. Happiness, with them, has been only secondary. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Not illustrated. 1827 edition. Excerpt: ... their existence as a separate class can be prevented. O wretched lot of the productive classes, if such be the only consolations, the only hopes, that political economy, that modern philosophy, can afford them! Strange that the "Labourer" should not have suspected the rottenness of the foundations of the system, of which early habits have made him the partizan, eager himself for the unsocial distinctions of competition, though arbitrarily excluding the acquirers of capital from its pretended benefits! Is it then true, that the wish to secure to labor the whole products of its exertions and the right of freely exchanging them, is a mere fond and unattainable dream? Is it true that, however bad in theory and destructive of human happiness the claims of idle capital to the products of labor may be, those claims must, by a strange fatality, be always acquiesced in and practically enforced? Is there in truth any physical or moral law of nature to be found, sternly forbidding the union of labor, capital, and knowledge? by which the. laborer would not only be rendered of more importance than the clod he treads upon, but would be rendered as much superior in worth and happiness to the present idle capitalist, as he now esteems himself superior to the wretched laborer of civilized life? To solve these questions, let us first see what the competitive school of political economy professes to do towards increasing the remuneration of the laborer. We shall find as many sects in the schools of political economy as in the schools of religion, each of them relying on his peculiar doctrine as the exclusive mean of salvation for the operative, or industrious, classes. The most important of these schools are perhaps the following. The partizans of...

THOMPSON, William was born in 1775 in Cork, Ireland.
British ‘utilitarian’ socialist and feminist. His earliest theoretical concerns were with problems of distribution, which led him to advocate cooperation rather than competition. He rapidly became recognised as the chief theorist of the co-operative movement and concentrated on the attempt to mobilise opinion amongst the labouring classes in favour of consumers’ and producers’ co-operatives.
