Excerpt from My Right to Work
Mr. Gerald Balfour, President of the Local Government Board, speaking at a luncheon at Bradford in connection with the opening of a new workhouse hospital, corrected a misconception regarding the Unemployed Workmen's Bill. It was said that the Act was a practical admission of the principle that it was the duty of the state to provide employment for all who were able and willing to work, but who could not find employment elsewhere. He denied that absolutely.
The Act, said Balfour, was never intended to carry with it such a principle, either in the form in which it was introduced or in the form in which it was ultimately passed, and as for the principle itself, he himself repudiated it absolutely. He was perfectly convinced that any community which once admitted or adhered to such a principle would be on the road to irretrievable ruin. He himself had never believed or professed that the Act could provide a solution of what was known as the problem of unemployment.

Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a condemnation of the unjust unemployment endemic in a nation that, as the author points out, has never been wealthier. The author, an unemployed man, argues that the nation has a moral duty to provide work and wages for those willing to work. He presents compelling evidence that unemployment is not a result of lack of work to do, bad trade, or individual laziness; instead, he observes that it is due to the monopolisation of land and capital by a small wealthy elite. The author goes on to describe the suffering that unemployment inflicts on working-class families, and he argues that unemployment is not only an economic but also a moral and social evil. The author concludes by presenting a straightforward and feasible solution to the unemployment problem: to tax the rich elite and use the money to pay the unemployed a living wage. The book is not only a polemic against unemployment but also a thought-provoking exploration of the nature of justice and the relationship between the individual and the state. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
