What are the positive and negative aspects of the guild organization of artisans?
If we talk about the advantages of the guild organization of artisans: – the guild organization of artisans was created with the aim of combining several crafts and transferring the accumulated experience. – a system of apprenticeship appeared, each student got a chance to become a master. – the workshops set high requirements for materials, only high-quality products were made from here. A huge disadvantage of the shop organization was that the sons of the craftsmen most often became the craftsmen – the ownership of the shop was inherited. From here a new layer of “permanent apprentices” emerged. Another disadvantage is that the strict rules of each workshop did not allow the emergence of innovations and discoveries, therefore, there was no progress.
