Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book is an examination of the movement to shorten the length of the working day in the United Kingdom from the 1800s to 1892. Throughout the 19th century, factory work often meant a 12 to 14 hour work day with few breaks and even less time off. In the mid-1800s, a massive movement for shorter working hours began to take hold, succeeding in cutting factory working hours for children and ultimately for all workers. The author, a businessman and a student of economic history, argues that such reforms were crucial to improving the lives of workers and should serve as a lesson that economic growth should not come at the expense of individual well-being. 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. print-on-demand item.
