Synopsis

This book explores the concept of a "living wage", an idea that has captured the public imagination since the inception of the Industrial Revolution. The author traces the rise of the concept from its humble beginnings in the 18th century to its prominence in the labour unrest of the early 1900s. By examining the historical context of the idea, the author demonstrates the enduring relevance of the living wage as a means to provide a minimum acceptable standard of living and combat poverty. Exploring the ethical, economic, and sociological arguments for a living wage, the author sheds light on the complex relationship between labour, capital, and social justice. The book concludes with a compelling case for the living wage as a crucial step toward creating a more equitable and humane society, offering valuable insights into the ongoing struggle for fair wages and social reform.
