Book Overview

Hand and Brain: A Symposium of Essays on Socialism is a collection of essays written by William Morris, a prominent British socialist, in 1898. The book explores the relationship between manual labor and intellectual work and argues for the importance of both in a socialist society. Morris believes that the separation of these two types of work in capitalist societies leads to the exploitation of workers and the degradation of artistic and cultural production. The essays in Hand and Brain cover a range of topics, including the role of education in a socialist society, the importance of craftsmanship, and the need for a more equal distribution of wealth. The book is a significant contribution to socialist thought and remains relevant to contemporary debates about labor, education, and inequality.Also By Henry Stephens Salt, Alfred Russel Wallace, And Edward Carpenter.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
