Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book explores the complex relationship between the state and labour, particularly as it concerns the safety and wellbeing of workers during the Industrial Revolution. The author, a leading economist of his time, examines the effectiveness of various legislative interventions, such as factory acts. As the Industrial Revolution created new machinery and new working conditions that threatened workers’ lives and health, the author argues that it became necessary for the state to step in and regulate industry. It was not a matter of infringing upon personal liberty, but rather of ensuring that workers were not subjected to needless suffering. This book offers a compelling argument for the role of the state in protecting its citizens. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book.
