Synopsis
In The Revolt of Labour Against Civilisation, W. H. V. Reade questions whether industry and wealth truly serve the common good.
The work surveys the clash between labour and capital, arguing that the pursuit of wealth has reshaped society and threaten to erode the idea of civilization itself. It examines how wealth, prestige, and power shift across occupations, and why a simple promise of progress may mask deeper social costs.
Readers are invited to think about justice, work, and the role of the state. The author questions common beliefs about money, merit, and the right way to balance individual opportunity with the community’s welfare, inviting a reconsideration of long-held ideas about happiness and fairness.
- How wealth and work influence social status and value in modern life
- Critiques of both employers and trade unions and their impact on society
- Connections between happiness, imagination, and the uses of wealth
- A provocative argument for rethinking policies that shape industry and civilization
Ideal for readers exploring the ethics of work, economic philosophy, and the tension between progress and civilization.

Évaluation du vendeur 5 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book probes the true nature of the revolt against civilization, arguing that it is not simply a matter of barbarism or violence but a deeper ideological conflict. The author tackles the rise of labor movements and their potential to undermine the very foundations of civilization, arguing that the core issue is not simply economic injustice but a fundamental shift in how we view the value of different types of work. The author draws on historical examples like the decline of the Roman Empire to illustrate the dangers of this shift, challenging the traditional view of civilization as inherently superior to barbarism. The book delves into the philosophy of work, capitalism, and the role of wealth in society, ultimately arguing that civilization is not merely about producing goods but about fostering intellectual and artistic pursuits. By exploring these complex issues, this book offers a thought-provoking examination of the forces at work in shaping the future of human society.
