Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book narrates the fascinating and brutal history of the early Industrial Revolution in England through the harrowing lens of its youngest victims. The author, a German economist, meticulously chronicles the deplorable working conditions in the textile industry. Beginning with the first modest efforts to protect children in 1802, the book documents the subsequent inquiries and incremental reforms that ultimately led to the groundbreaking Factory Act of 1833. Along the way, it casts light on the exploitation of the working class and the tireless efforts of activists like Lord Ashley in the face of fierce opposition from factory owners. The book not only unveils the horrors of child labor during this tumultuous era but also underscores the role of legislation in shaping labor practices and the lives of future generations.
