Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This insightful and thought-provoking book examines the exploitation of farmers in Western Canada during the early 20th century. The author argues that the introduction of modern machinery, rather than liberating farmers, actually transformed them into slaves of the capitalist system. The book traces the historical roots of this exploitation, showing how the government and corporations colluded to dispossess farmers and concentrate ownership of the means of production in the hands of a wealthy elite. The author explores the devastating impact this had on the lives of farmers, leading to poverty, debt, and social unrest. Through a Marxist lens, the book exposes the contradictions inherent in capitalism, demonstrating how the pursuit of profit inevitably leads to the impoverishment of the working class. This book is a valuable contribution to the understanding of class struggle and the ongoing fight for economic justice.
