Die Lage der arbeitenden Klasse in England

Book • 1845
Written between September 1844 and March 1845, this book is Friedrich Engels' first major work.

It is a detailed study of the living and working conditions of the industrial proletariat in England during the Industrial Revolution.

Engels, who was just 24 years old at the time, compiled his observations from his stay in Manchester and Salford, as well as from contemporary reports.

The book critiques the capitalist system, arguing that it led to significant health issues, higher mortality rates, and overall poorer living conditions for workers compared to their pre-industrial counterparts.

It had a profound influence on Karl Marx and subsequent Marxist historians.
