After writing about Harriet Hardy Taylor Mill , Mary Paley Marshall, Harriet Martineau and Millicent Garrett Fawcett , representative women of classical and liberal economic thought in the th century, we are going to focus on three authors more linked to the positions of the labor movement and the progressive schools: Beatrice Webb, Clara Elizabet Collet and Rosa Luxemburgo. We will start with Beatrice Webb , (-) an English economist and sociologist whose name is always linked, like an inseparable couple, to that of her husband Sidney Webb, although before they met, Beatrice had already written books and research of great scientific stature. He was born on January at Standish House, near Gloucester, south-west England.
Daughter of an industrial entrepreneur and a woman educated in the utilitarian tradition, she is considered one of the fundamental theorists of the Welfare State that was implemented in Europe after the Second World War. She actively participated C Level Executive List in the social reforms of the first decades of the th century, promoting cooperativism, educational reforms and laws in favor of workers. Self-taught, she was greatly influenced by authors such as Auguste Comte and Herbert Spencer. She was the founder of the London School of Economics, an institution of great vigor to the present, dedicated to the education of critical economists, which has had a relevant role in the development and autonomy of Economics as an independent discipline.
Currently it is a public university specialized in Social Sciences. In his youth he focused his work on the trade union movement (textile sector, the London docks, the organization of workers) and especially on the cooperative movement that culminated in with the publication of The Cooperative Movement in Great Britain . He came to consider that cooperatives could supplant the capitalist entrepreneur in a society based on self-managed industries. He considered cooperatives one more democratic association in the achievement of industrial democracy. This position on the cooperative movement was shared by another of the great British economists of the time, Léon Walras. At the end of the s he studied political economy and published “The History of the English Economy” and “The Economic Theory of Karl Marx” .
