The Law of Freedom in a Platform

The Law of Freedom in a Platform is a six-chapter book (described in the English of the time as a 'pamphlet') published in 1652 by Gerrard Winstanley, the leader of the Diggers movement. In the book he argued that under a Christian basis for society, property and wages should be abolished. In keeping with Winstanley's adherence to biblical models, the tract envisages a communistic society structured on non-hierarchical lines, establishing the beginnings of modern Christian socialism.^[1]
