The True Solution of the Labor Question (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the paramount issue of our time: the resolution of the labor question. The author contends that the solution does not lie within the domain of a single individual but rather through the concerted eļ orts of social science. Industrial progress, while enriching society as a whole, has disproportionately burdened the working class. Poverty and misery have taken hold, and a bloody uprising is imminent unless decisive action is taken. The book underscores the plight of the worker, exploring the negative repercussions of overwork, child labor, and the exploitation of women. The author posits that ignorance, immorality, and crime are the inevitable outcomes of such conditions. Tracing the historical development of society, the author argues that a small class of capitalist employers have gained exclusive control of the means of production, resulting in a gross misallocation of resources. Competition has exacerbated this imbalance, leading to a concentration of wealth in the hands of the few and increased destitution for the many. The author contends that labor is systematically robbed of its fair share of the wealth it produces. This exploitation has created an untenable situation, where workers are forced to toil long hours for mere subsistence while employers reap enormous profits. The book rejects conventional solutions such as protectionism, free trade, and individual abstinence and industry, arguing that they fail to address the root causes of the labor problem. Instead, it proposes universal or integral co-operation as the only viable path forward. This system would eliminate the profit motive and ensure that all workers receive the full fruits of their labor. The author provides a detailed blueprint for implementing this transformative change, emphasizing the critical role of labor organizations in leading this revolution. Ultimately, the book's profound insights oļ er a roadmap towards a more just and equitable society, where the inherent dignity of all workers is recognized and respected. It is a clarion call to action, urging the working class to unite and demand their rightful place in shaping the destiny of humanity.
