	Livery Company - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The 107 Livery Companies are trade associations based in the City of London, each known as the Worshipful Company of the relevant trade or profession.
		The Livery Companies originally developed as guilds and were responsible for the regulation of their trades, controlling, for instance, wages and labour conditions.
		Among the earliest companies known to have possessed halls were the Merchant Taylors and Goldsmiths in the 14th century, but neither theirs nor other companies' original halls remain; the few survivors of the Great Fire were destroyed, along with many reconstructed ones, during the Blitz.

	Piet Zwart Institute - Flowmaps, The Imaginaries of Global Integration
		The essence of transnational state capitalism, or "world government," is grasped when one realizes that the legal, communicational and technoscientific architecture necessary for the development of a global market can only be developed by complex and labyrinthine collaborations between aspects of the predominant territorial states and relatively independent actors from the corporate sector.
		In a world where commercial and governmental communications media create the truth of each event through its massive, meticulously channeled transmission (television, newspapers, radio), these activists dreamt of a one-to-one exchange whose model is an intimate conversation between singular people, informal and open – but whose extension that would be potentially infinite.
		It is, inseparably, the blueprint of world government and the excess of subjective liberation: the Sovereign and the Multitude.

	The Drapers Company of London -- Its History, Function & Usefulness to Researchers
		Traders and craftsman by habit met and transacted business together as neighbours, so that it came about naturally that the first voluntary associations to be formed in London were composed of the members of a particular trade.
		The Company consists of Freemen and Freewomen, who are the ordinary members; the livery, or those entitled to wear the livery or clothing of the Company, and the Court of Assistants or Governing Body, headed by the Master and Wardens.
		The continued prosperity and influence of the Drapers' Company, and the other medieval guilds of the City of London, is unique in the world; it is a remarkable instance of the continuity of English history and the stability of English institutions.

		The occasion for the drunken banquets at which these oaths were made was December 26, the pagan feast of Jul: Bishop Hincmar, in 858, sought vainly to Christianize them (Rouche 1987 p 432).
		This was the Merchant Venturures who were the only traders allowed to merchandise in foreign ports and, at first, they were not able to do any manual trade or retail in the city.
		(...) and when any particular class of artificers or traders thought proper to act as a corporation without a charter, such adulterine guilds, as they were called, were not always disfranchised upon that account, but obliged to fine annually to the king for permission to exercise their usurped privileges.
