Publisher's Synopsis
""The Condition of Labor: An Open Letter to Pope Leo XIII"" is a book written by American economist and social reformer, George Henry. In this book, Henry addresses the issue of labor conditions in the late 19th century, particularly in the United States. He argues that the capitalist system is inherently flawed and that it leads to the exploitation of workers. Henry presents a detailed analysis of the economic and social factors that contribute to the poor conditions of labor and offers solutions to improve the situation. The book is written in the form of an open letter to Pope Leo XIII, who had recently published an encyclical on the issue of labor. Henry's letter is a passionate plea to the Pope to use his influence to bring about change and to advocate for the rights of workers. ""The Condition of Labor"" is an important historical document that sheds light on the challenges faced by workers in the late 19th century and the efforts of social reformers to improve their lives.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
