The Rise of Wage Labor

i think that the fundamental change in material conditions then is the rise of wage labor. The nineteenth century debate shifts from a criticising political slavery, absolute monarchy and colonial government to the social preconditions for and the social existence. We can't organize a truly free republic if it's based on slavery or any other form of dependent labor. That's something that at first artisans in this sort bartisnal republicanism, and later wage workers and industrial workers start seizing on,. And makes them start to think, first, slavery is wrong, but then that there might be something wrong also with industrial wage labor.
