Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This polemical text presents a scathing critique of the 1832 Factory Commission, which was set up to examine working conditions in textile factories. The author draws on historical and legal precedents to argue that the Commission was illegally constituted and its proceedings a violation of the principles of natural justice. He also charges the Commissioners with partiality and suppression of evidence in favour of factory owners. The author goes beyond the immediate case to address wider concerns about the moral and social consequences of industrial capitalism. He argues that policies which place the interests of profit above the health and well-being of workers, especially women and children, are ultimately unsustainable. The book provides a valuable historical record of a significant episode in the early history of industrial regulation. More broadly, it offers a powerful and persuasive critique of the social costs of unrestrained economic growth.
