The conditions of the working class in England
Book • 2021
Written between 1842 and 1844, this book is a detailed account of the living conditions of the working class in England, particularly in industrial cities like Manchester and Liverpool.
Engels, who was influenced by Hegel's philosophy and later collaborated with Karl Marx, describes the dire conditions faced by factory workers, including long working hours, low wages, high mortality rates, and the lack of social and economic security.
The book highlights the negative impacts of the Industrial Revolution on the working class, portraying them as 'slaves' of the industrial system.
It remains a significant contribution to the history of the workers' rights movement and modern socialist theory.
