Synopsis
Excerpt from The Programme of the I. L. P. And the Unemployed
True as this is, the time has arrived for the work of social reconstruction to commence in this country, and therefore concurrently with the work of the agitator must go on the work of the reconstructor of the new industrial and social system; and to enable this to be done it is necessary we should be clear as to the kind of work in which we are to engage. At present Great Britain lives chiefly by her manufactures she has sought and obtained a very large share of the world's trade, and the orthodox View is that our national well-being depends upon our capacity to maintain our position in the world's markets.

The Programme of the I. L. P. And the Unemployed (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book confronts the problems of industrial society, emphasizing the problems of unemployment and poverty as well as the need for a people-centric approach to the allocation and distribution of national resources. The author argues that capitalism's inherent exploitation of the working class leads to the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few and an unjust distribution of resources. The author, who identifies as a Socialist, argues that the present system of production for profit, not need, creates artificial scarcity and keeps millions unemployed, thereby suppressing wages. They stress that the government should ensure work for all who need it, urging that common ownership of resources and decentralized decision-making would help achieve this. The book includes a detailed program for political and economic change, intended as a first step toward the creation of an equitable society. It specifically advocates for an 8-hour working day, free primary, secondary, and university education, free maintenance for school children, municipalization and popular control of the liquor traffic, and the abolition of indirect taxation, among many other key tenets of socialism.
