This presentation is a superb begining-place for further study. The leisurely pace and voice quality of the narrator allow for thoughtful reflection. Thank you. --R.T. Thomes (Amsterdam, NL)

I hate to break it to y'all but The idea that a worker OWNS his own work is definitely not a collectivist / socialist idea.

With respect to the speaker, Roycrofters is spoken with the o in croft. Not craft as in Roycrofters.

[@sodacushion2815]

When did she imply that that idea was? She just said the whole movement was essentially socialist as a reaction against the capitalism during industrial revolution

Interesting and informative but I agree that the loud music is too much of a distraction!
