`BY THE SWEAT OF THY BROW SHALT THOU EAT BREAD`
‘The poor shall never cease out of the land’- for centuries this pessimism was taken to embody an immutable fact of life. But towards the end of the 18th Century, England underwent an agricultural and an industrial revolution. Men began to wonder whether the wealth so released might not mean the end of poverty. Nearly two centuries later we are still wryly wondering. The worst excesses of the Industrial Revolution - for example, the brutal exploitation of child labour documented by Brian Inglis in this book - may be over, but even in the so-called affluent societies of today, poverty on an increasing scale is still the main social problem.
POVERTY AND THE INDUSTRIAL REVOLUTION provides a searching reassessment of a crucial period in English history in a radical attempt to discover why our society took the course it did.
‘Should be read by all who are apprehensive about current Conservative attitudes towards the welfare state... the historical similarities are... remarkable’
