The house of Industry : a new estate of the realm

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.
