Présentation de l'éditeur
The habits of our whole species fall into three great classes useful labour, useless labour, and idleness. Of these, the first only is meritorious, and to it all the products of labour rightfully belong; but the two latter, while they exist, are heavy pensioners upon the first, robbing it of a large portion of its just rights. The only remedy for this is to, so far as possible, drive useless labour and idleness out of existence. .. .ABRAHAM

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating and insightful critique of the emergence of the "idle rich" in American society during the late 19th century. The author, a keen observer of his time, contrasts the eraââ â¢s burgeoning wealth with the enduring values of hard work and social responsibility that defined earlier generations. He argues that the rise of immense fortunes, often accumulated through ruthless industrial practices, created a new class of individuals detached from the realities of labor and devoid of a sense of duty towards their fellow citizens. This book delves into the extravagant lifestyles of this new elite, showcasing their lavish spending habits and the moral decay they engendered. The author, who himself belonged to the upper echelon of society, expresses his deep concern about the impact of this new breed of idle rich on the fabric of American society and its moral foundations. He argues that their profligacy and detachment from the principles of hard work threatened to undermine the very foundations of a nation built on democratic ideals. The book's insights into the evolving social landscape of America, with its burgeoning wealth and the rise of a class defined by conspicuous consumption, provide a timeless perspective on the potential consequences of unchecked wealth and the importance of social responsibility. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
