Hello listeners, there's an old saying that I learned very young and live by: "a person that forgets or doesn't know the past is condemned to repeat it..." It is paramount to know history and how it plays a role in the present.... "Anthropology" is what they call it.
Guilds were historically setup as associations of craftsmen or merchants formed for mutual aid and protection and for the advancement of their professional interests. That said, the concept of the "guild" is a forgotten one and could be extremely useful for those in need of collective influence, power, financial resources, and the like. The power of the many is typically greater than that of the individual.
Let's talk about how the ancient "guild" concept can be employed beyond its historical use in 2021 and beyond to become more powerful. Thanks.
