The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844: A Study of Poverty and Living Conditions in Industrial Victorian England - Tapa blanda

Large Dyslexia-Friendly Print Engels' “The Condition of the Working Class in England in 1844" is an intriguing study of the most vulnerable class of England’s industrialised cities, including London and Liverpool; but mostly Manchester, where he stayed whilst compiling the book.  He shares shocking data of the state of the proletariat, such as a death rate of 1 in 30 in Liverpool and Manchester compared with the national average of 1 in 45.  The living conditions of the Working Class (which he claims were exacerbated by industrialisation and capitalism) were largely to blame for these statistics, and Engels illustrates these conditions in horrifying detail.
