Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between industrialization and ethics during the 19th century. The author argues that early industrialists were motivated by values centered around social worth. However, as industrialization advanced, these values were replaced by the pursuit of maximum profit, leading to a decline in the significance of personal dignity in the workplace. This erosion of ethical values has left a lasting impact on the modern industrial world, where struggles between capital and labor persist. The author calls for a restoration of ethical values in industry, emphasizing the need for a balance between economic progress and social responsibility. This insightful analysis provides a fresh perspective on the evolution of industrial society and its profound implications for our understanding of work and its societal impact.
