Florian Znaniecki - a classic of Polish and world sociology - was the author of a little known
booklet "Organization of Men of Labour", published in Poznań in 1920 by the National Defense
Committee.
The Organization aimed at founding - by capitalists and workers - common enterprises based
on the principle of social solidarity. It was to counteract the class struggle ideology as well as the
Bolshevik propaganda threatening from the East.
Znaniecki named the Organization a "social invention" founded to defend the Polish nation
against the Communist revolution.
