The Progress of the German Working Classes: In the Last Quarter of a Century (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Synopsis
This book provides insightful observations on the substantial improvements in the well-being of German workers observed over the last quarter of the 19th century, a period of significant economic and political transformation. The author presents evidence that despite historical and natural advantages enjoyed by the UK, Germany experienced remarkable progress, particularly in manufacturing industries. The book sheds light on criteria used to measure growing prosperity, including changes in income distribution, consumption patterns, reductions in working hours, improvements in health, housing, and a decline in emigration. It also examines the impact of the Depression of 1901-2 and its eventual recovery. The book concludes by emphasizing that while Germany may not have achieved a perfect standard of living, the significant advancements made during this period demonstrate the potential for social reform and economic growth, even amidst the challenges of industrialization.
