The Labor Question (1911)

The Labor Question, written by Washington Gladden in 1911, is a comprehensive analysis of the issues surrounding labor in America during the early 20th century. The book delves into the history of labor in the United States, examining the rise of labor unions, the struggles of workers to obtain fair wages and working conditions, and the complex relationship between labor and capital.Gladden argues that the labor question is not simply an economic issue, but a moral one as well. He advocates for a more just and equitable society, in which workers are treated with dignity and respect, and their rights are protected by law. He also explores the role of government in regulating labor, and the need for a more active and engaged citizenry to advocate for workers' rights.Throughout the book, Gladden draws on his own experiences as a minister and social reformer, and his deep commitment to social justice. He argues that the labor question is not just about economics, but about the fundamental values of democracy and human dignity. The Labor Question is a seminal work in the history of American labor and a powerful call to action for anyone concerned with social justice and economic equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
