| Summary | "The History of Trade Unionism" by Sidney Webb and Beatrice Webb is a historical account written in the late 19th to early 20th century. This work examines the development of trade unionism in Great Britain, tracing its origins, struggles, and significant evolutions leading up to 1920. The text aims to document the growth of the trade union movement, revealing how it transformed from a marginal association to a powerful political force, impacting labor rights and social restructuring. The opening of the work introduces the context for this historical examination, emphasizing the significant changes in British trade unionism over the preceding thirty years. The authors note that, while only a small percentage of wage earners were involved in unions in 1890, this number had surged to over 60% by 1920. They outline their methodology and research sources, indicating an in-depth investigation into the origins and struggles of trade unions. The authors clarify that the volume focuses on chronicling the history of trade unionism rather than analyzing its economic effects or political validity, positioning their work within the broader landscape of industrial democracy and the evolution of labor movements.
