Synopsis
Demanding work as a human right, this bold pamphlet argues unemployment stems from a flawed system.
A speaker who claims the right to work presents a passionate case for rethinking how a modern nation treats its unemployed. The book surveys moral questions, economic arguments, and political remedies, urging readers to consider socialism as a possible solution.
From a personal stand on dignity and survival to wider debates about land, ownership, and national policy, the text challenges readers to confront who benefits from profitable systems and who bears the cost. It contrasts charity with a living wage and questions the fairness of free trade and private ownership when many are left without work.
- Explore the author’s premise that unemployment is a political and moral issue, not a personal failing.
- Learn how ownership, land, and economic policy are linked to the right to work.
- Examine arguments for socialism as a practical remedy and its proposed steps.
- Consider how debates on free trade, protection, and national planning shape modern employment.
Ideal for readers interested in historical debates about work, economy, and social reform, and for those curious about early arguments for coordinated policy change.

Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is a condemnation of the unjust unemployment endemic in a nation that, as the author points out, has never been wealthier. The author, an unemployed man, argues that the nation has a moral duty to provide work and wages for those willing to work. He presents compelling evidence that unemployment is not a result of lack of work to do, bad trade, or individual laziness; instead, he observes that it is due to the monopolisation of land and capital by a small wealthy elite. The author goes on to describe the suffering that unemployment inflicts on working-class families, and he argues that unemployment is not only an economic but also a moral and social evil. The author concludes by presenting a straightforward and feasible solution to the unemployment problem: to tax the rich elite and use the money to pay the unemployed a living wage. The book is not only a polemic against unemployment but also a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of justice and the relationship between the individual and the state.
