if it weren't from guilds all towers and bridges would have collapsed and Maritime trade world never have happened.
then, many centuries later, and land owner elite capture, the guilds become in England just an extension of the peerage system and then it becomes what that phrase above describes. btw most medical labour organizations today work like that protectionism scheme and nobody complain much.

People should complain much more about doctors’ guilds. There are limits on how many doctors can be trained in the US and the U.K. largely as a result of lobbying by doctors’ guilds. They’re called professional associations these days but let’s not pretend they confine themselves to enforcing professional standards.
