The Law of Freedom in a Platform

The Law of Freedom in a Platform is a pamphlet published in 1652 by Gerrard Winstanley, one of the Diggers, in which he argued that the Christian basis for society is where property and wages are abolished. In keeping with Winstanley’s adherence to biblical models, the tract envisages a communistic society structured on patriarchal lines.
