 <p>A guild is a chartered society of townsfolk engaged in the same (or related) craft or trade, who organize to the purpose of collective legal protection and control of their local monopoly. A guild limits the craft or trade to its members, protects trade secrets, and sponsors the development of new knowledge. The formation of guilds is usually governed by the town’s laws. Guilds in the same trade in neighboring towns may recognize each other’s rules and qualifications, although there is sometimes aggressive rivalry. Guilds are financed by dues, a small fraction of members’ incomes. A wealthy guild has a guildhall where the masters keep records and enjoy great dinners; smaller guilds meet in inns or taverns, or even at a guild-master’s home.</p>

 *In exchange for their privileges, guildsmen pay a membership fee to the guild, and subject themselves to the guild laws and customs.
 *A craft guild regulates the price and quality of goods or services, to ensure that its monopoly is not abusive to the point that the town demands its revocation. A guild “hallmark” on a product guarantees that it meets standards. The guild discourages its members from competing through bulk discounts or price-cutting, but encourages them to outdo each other in quality. The products of a guild’s master craftsmen are reliable, but often costly.
-*A mercantile guild regulates trade within the town and its environs. It restricts trade with "strangers" (from other towns), who are only allowed to sell in the town through a "host," an assigned guild-member who takes a fee for the service. Ancillary workers in the town can work only for guild members, and preparatory work must be done in guild-specified locations. It punishes harmful practices. It lobbies—and sometimes engages in violence—to gain or enforce conditions favorable to the town's franchise and prevent encroachment by its neighbors.

 *In craft guilds, typically, the craftsman is the owner of all means of production and he sells the finished product. That differs the craftsmen from the wageworkers, who only gets paid for his work. In some trades, the customer provides the resources, and the craftsmen is only paid for the labour. Normally the craftsmen producs when a customer orders a specific product or he produces on stocks to sell his products on the market, which takes places regularly. Most of the masters have the right to employ some assistants (uncommonly, dependent on their economic situation); if so, it is common that the employee stays in the master’s household. In some trades, for example in the building sector, the journeymen normally have their own household.
