Chapter Chapter 4 in Sidney and Beatrice Webb, 2022, pp 55-72 from Palgrave Macmillan

Abstract: Abstract The Fabian Society was founded in 1884 to bring about fairness, justice and social integration without compromising on democracy and consensus. Sidney Webb, in early Tracts such as Facts for Socialists and in his decisive contribution to the Fabian Essays in 1889, was influential in getting across the message that change must be incremental and that matter is in motion. He argued that fellow citizens have rights and duties precisely because they are interdependent parts of an organic whole. Convinced by Henry George on passive rent, he joined with other Fabians in calling for the collectivisation of land and industrial capital as the precondition for the elimination of poverty.
