comments laden plan distribution righting (1 résultats)

Etat : Very good to fine. Leaflet promoting the Laden Plan of Distribution, and reprinting recent positive reactions in the press. Goldie Laden was an advocate for the poor, and developed her Plan in order to right what she perceived as an inherent wrong in modern society: "The most heinous crime in America is our needless poverty in the midst of plenty . When the home-makers are given the consuming-power, and the men the productive industrial work, our important social and economic problems are solved" (p. [2]). Gender roles were at the heart of her Plan; women, she argued, should receive a base salary of $75 from the government for performing domestic work while men worked outside the house. Further, she argues that "no person be allowed to retain more than $100,000 per year", and that all wages and prices should be stabilized by the government. Bifolium (7" by 5.5"), with photograph of Laden on first page. Before becoming a social advocate, Goldie Laden was a poet. She published "Dreams of Youth" in 1927.
