Synopsis

This book examines the hidden history of labor strikes and battles through the ages, from antiquity to the Industrial Revolution. The author argues that these conflicts have often been overlooked or minimized in accounts of labor history, but they have played a crucial role in shaping the conditions of work and the lives of working people. The book draws on a wide range of sources to document these struggles, including archaeological evidence, historical texts, and oral traditions. The author shows that labor strikes have been a feature of human society for millennia, and that they have often been met with violence and repression. However, they have also been instrumental in winning important concessions for workers, such as higher wages, better working conditions, and the right to organize. This book sheds new light on the history of labor and capitalism, and it offers a fresh perspective on the struggles that have shaped our world. The author's insights are essential reading for anyone who wants to understand the origins of the modern labor movement and the challenges facing workers today.

Présentation de l'éditeur

Leopold Classic Library is delighted to publish this classic book as part of our extensive collection. As part of our on-going commitment to delivering value to the reader, we have also provided you with a link to a website, where you may download a digital version of this work for free. Many of the books in our collection have been out of print for decades, and therefore have not been accessible to the general public. Whilst the books in this collection have not been hand curated, an aim of our publishing program is to facilitate rapid access to this vast reservoir of literature. As a result of this book being first published many decades ago, it may have occasional imperfections. These imperfections may include poor picture quality, blurred or missing text. While some of these imperfections may have appeared in the original work, others may have resulted from the scanning process that has been applied. However, our view is that this is a significant literary work, which deserves to be brought back into print after many decades. While some publishers have applied optical character recognition (OCR), this approach has its own drawbacks, which include formatting errors, misspelt words, or the presence of inappropriate characters. Our philosophy has been guided by a desire to provide the reader with an experience that is as close as possible to ownership of the original work. We hope that you will enjoy this wonderful classic book, and that the occasional imperfection that it might contain will not detract from the experience.
