Talks About Labor


Book Description

Excerpt from Talks About Labor: And Concerning the Evolution of Justice Between the Laborers and the Capitalists In submitting the meagre results of. An earnest study of the subject, he has endeavored to present them as briefly and compactly as' possible, only hoping to suggest to some other minds a mode of thought which they may be willing to pursue. He has also endeavored to present the argument of his view with fairness, and has adopted for that purpose - though with imperfect skill - the con versational form, in which both modifying and opposing considerations can be brought into a dis cussion most easily. This method of treating the subject has sometimes induced - in the opening chapters especially - an extremeness Of statement on one side, which the counter-statement is trusted to correct. Taken alone, there are some state ments of that kind, perhaps, which the writer would not wish to have accepted as sound teach ing. If his view Of the subject is considered at all, he would ask to have it considered as a whole. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.

Wage-Labor and Capital (Classic Reprint)


Book Description

Excerpt from Wage-Labor and Capital The first, entitled wage-labor and Capital, was trans lated for us by Dr. Harriet E. Lothrop, of Boston, from the standard German edition prepared by Engels in 1891. This is the only complete English edition of it that has yet appeared, and its accuracy was doubly se cured by a critical comparison of its every sentence with the German text, made at the request of the translator by Herman Simpson, of New York, who also added foot notes wherever comment seemed needful. In the perform ance of their respective task, both kept in mind the all important consideration, that in the works of Marx, as in all works, truly scientific, the exact expression is an essential factor and should not, therefore, be sacrificed to literary style in its transfer from one language to another.

Industrial Labor on the Margins of Capitalism


Book Description

Bringing together ethnographic case studies of industrial labor from different parts of the world, Industrial Labor on the Margins of Capitalism explores the increasing casualization of workforces and the weakening power of organized labor. This division owes much to state policies and is reflected in local understandings of class. By exploring this relationship, these essays question the claim that neoliberal ideology has become the new ‘commonsense’ of our times and suggest various propositions about the conditions that create employment regimes based on flexible labor.

Capitalist and Laborer


Book Description

Excerpt from Capitalist and Laborer: An Open Letter to Professor Goldwin Smith, D. C. L., In Reply to His Capital and Labor, and Modern Socialism, a Lecture Delivered at the New York School of Philanthrophy This little volume consists of two parts. The first part contains a reply to Professor Goldwin Smith's attack on Socialism in his little book, Capital and Labor, the second a lecture on Modern Socialism, delivered to the students of the School of Philantlirophy, New York City. It will be seen that, while I have for Professor Smith's character and scholastic attainments the highest respect and admiration, I cannot esteem other than lightly his argument on the relations of Capital and Labor. Had the author's eminence in the world of letters not been such that his words are given great and serious attention wherever the English language is read and spoken, I should not have felt that his little book merited any reply.

Capital and Labor


Book Description

Excerpt from Capital and Labor: Socialist Party, Workers of the World Unite When he came to see the truth of the Socialist position, he saw that the only way to escape from the life in which capitalism doomed him to live was by helping other working men to see the same truths. Hence this book. It is a record of the things which made him a Socialist, and of the things which he found most effective in teaching his fellow-workers to become Socialists. Along with these things he has put the arguments and thoughts which arose from his experience as laborer and Socialist agitator.
