Henri Lambert (1862–1934) was a Belgian engineer and glass works owner at Charleroi near Brussels.
[1] He spoke Walloon with his blue collar workers, which was exceptional in that time.
He was a prolific writer (in French) of articles for newspaper and political journals, brochures, and books on political philosophy, and had several of his works translated into German and English.
He also wrote works about corporations, trade unions, government, democracy, and representation, voicing bold and well-intentioned ideas (which may not be altogether consistent).
But his criticism of the principle of limited liability in connection with corporations is an original point which seems to have attracted attention at the turn of the century, as well as his ideas about the organisation of trade unions.
