and we think we have progressed in the last hundred years

Just as valid now as when it was written a hundred years ago..Spookily infact.

It is the sort of book that when you have read it you should give it away....Then buy more and give them away!

The BBC dramatisation of the book is very good too with some well known names/voices.Read full review...

A look at the past to see the future

GOOD QUALITY BOOK IN MINT CONDITION.
IT WAS GREAT TO REVISIT SUCH A READABLE ACCOUNT OF AN EARLIER PERIOD IN TIME AND TO RELATE IT TO MODERN LIFE. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE THAT THE WORKING CLASS ARE ANY BETTER OFF OK MORE MONEY BETTER LIVING CONDITIONS AND COMMUNICATIONS BUT LESS RIGHT'S LESS WORK OPTIONS AND A CONTINUING BATTLE TO SECURE A LONG TERM POSITION.Read full review...

A Classic. Relevant to todays world as much as was when first written.

An important work that is as relevant today as it was when it was written. Telling the story of a man who wanted his fellow workers to understand their own lives within the system that would cast them aside with an eagerness only equalled with the intent to exploit them.Read full review...

The Socialist's Bible by a humanist

This is a truly stunning & shocking account of life. It should be read by all those who recognise that fairness starts with the parents to whom we are born; struggles or not begin then. We, each and every one of us should strive towards equality of income as a starting point.Read full review...
