Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a searing indictment of the author's contemporary economic system, particularly the devastating effects of free competition on both the working class and the bourgeoisie. Through vivid descriptions of poverty and destitution, the author argues that competition creates a race to the bottom, driving down wages and leading to the exploitation of workers, including children. This system, the author contends, ultimately benefits only a select few while leaving the majority in a state of constant struggle and insecurity. The author's observations are situated within the context of early industrial society, where the rise of factories and mass production brought about profound changes in the lives of ordinary people. By exposing the dark underbelly of this economic model, the book challenges the prevailing notion that free competition leads to prosperity for all. Instead, the author proposes a radical solution: the state should take control of major industries and establish national workshops where everyone works and is compensated according to their needs and abilities. This vision of a more equitable society, where the right to work and a dignified existence are guaranteed, resonated with many and helped shape the socialist movement in Europe. Though written in a specific historical period, this book's insights into the potential pitfalls of unchecked capitalism and the enduring quest for social justice remain strikingly relevant today.
