Publisher's Synopsis
Labor's Wrongs and Labor's Remedy: Or The Age of Might and the Age of Right is a book written by John Francis Bray in 1839. The book is a critique of the industrialization and capitalism that emerged during the 19th century in England. Bray argues that the working class is being exploited by the capitalist class, and that this exploitation is leading to widespread poverty and suffering. He suggests that the solution to this problem is to create a new social order based on the principles of justice and equality. The book is divided into two parts: The Age of Might and The Age of Right. The Age of Might describes the current state of society, where the powerful dominate the weak and the wealthy exploit the poor. Bray argues that this state of affairs is unjust and unsustainable. The Age of Right, on the other hand, outlines Bray's vision for a just and equitable society. He suggests that this can be achieved through the establishment of worker cooperatives, where workers own and control the means of production. Labor's Wrongs and Labor's Remedy was a significant work in the history of labor and socialist thought. It was one of the first books to argue for the establishment of worker cooperatives as a means of achieving social justice. The book was widely read and influential in its time, and it continues to be studied by scholars today.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
