Condition of the Working Class in England by Friedrich Engels

5.0

Important document on the stark conditions of the working class in England in 1844. Early Capitalism was brutal. It is a little easier these days although conditions are deteriorating for working people in our own time. If the owners had there way with no resistance or legacy of earlier working-class movements those dark satanic mills would return. You can bank on that. Very digestible and makes clear what is implicit but rarely broached in polite circles owners will squeeze workers until they get push back from organized workers and we'd all be better off without the owners.
