Synopsis

The Radical Programme is a political manifesto written by Joseph Chamberlain in 1885. Chamberlain was a British politician and a leading figure in the Liberal Unionist Party, which was formed in opposition to Irish Home Rule. In this book, Chamberlain outlines his vision for a ""radical"" programme of political and social reform.The book is divided into three parts. The first part outlines Chamberlain's views on the role of government and the need for reform. He argues that the government should take an active role in promoting economic growth and social welfare, and that this can be achieved through measures such as land reform, education reform, and the establishment of a national system of insurance.The second part of the book focuses on specific policy proposals. Chamberlain advocates for the establishment of a minimum wage, the extension of the franchise to all adult males, and the creation of a national system of old-age pensions. He also calls for the establishment of a system of municipal socialism, in which local governments would take an active role in providing public services and promoting economic development.The final part of the book is a call to action. Chamberlain urges his readers to become politically active and to work towards the implementation of his radical programme. He argues that the future of the country depends on the success of these reforms, and that it is the duty of all citizens to work towards a better society.Overall, The Radical Programme is an important historical document that provides insight into the political and social debates of the late 19th century. It is a passionate call for reform and a vision of a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The Beform A cts of 1885 have set the seal on the great change which the Reform A ct of 1832 inaugurated. The government of the people by the people, imperfectly recognised as the principle of the first attempt to improve the Parliamentary Representation, has been at last effectively secured by the two measures which together constitute the great achievement of Mr. Gladstone ssecond administration. At last the majority of the nation will be represented by a majority of the House of Commons, and ideas and wants and claims which have been hitherto ignored in legislation will find a voice in Parliament, and will compel the attention of statesmen.
