Sidney and Beatrice Webb were English socialist economists, historians, social reformers, and journalists. They were early and active members of the Fabian Society, which aimed to establish a democratic socialist state in Great Britain through evolutionary socialism rather than revolution. Together, the Webbs cofounded the London School of Economics and Political Science. The Webbs’ collaborative writing produced influential works such as The History of Trade Unionism (1894) and Industrial Democracy (1897).
