Présentation de l'éditeur
The object of this volume is to collect, arrange, and examine some of the leading facts and forces in modem industrial life which have a direct bearing upon Poverty, and to set in the light they afford some of the suggested palliatives and remedies. Although much remains to be done in order to establish on a scientific basis the study of the condition of the people, it is possible that the brief setting forth of carefully ascertained facts and figures in this little book may be of some service in furnishing a stimulus to the fuller systematic study of the important social questions with which it deals. The treatment is designed to be adapted to the focus of the citizen-student who brings to his task not merely the intellectual interest of the collector of knowledge, but the moral interest which belongs to one who is a part of all he sees, and a sharer in the social responsibility for the present and the future of industrial society. For the statements of fact contained in these chapters I am largely indebted to the valuable studies presented in the first volume of Mr. Charles Booth s Labour and Life of the Peopky a work which, when completed, will place the study of problems of poverty upon a solid scientific basis which has hitherto been wanting.

Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the complexities of poverty in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, offering a nuanced exploration of its causes and potential solutions. The author meticulously examines the economic realities of the working class, particularly in urban centres like London, shedding light on the stark inequalities and hardships faced by a significant portion of the population. The narrative goes beyond simply quantifying poverty, delving into the lived experiences of the poor. It explores the impact of industrialization and the rise of machinery on employment patterns, wages, and living conditions. The author critically assesses the role of factors such as housing, food quality, and the irregularity of work in perpetuating the cycle of poverty. This book challenges prevailing notions about poverty and wealth distribution, prompting readers to question the efficacy of existing social structures and policies. The author's insightful analysis of the "effects of machinery on the condition of the working classes" and the "influx of population into large towns" places the issue of poverty within the broader context of societal transformation. By examining various proposed solutions, including "socialistic legislation" and addressing the "oversupply of low-skilled labour," the book encourages a deeper understanding of the multifaceted nature of poverty and the potential paths toward a more equitable society. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
