Labor, Land And Law: A Search For The Missing Wealth Of The Working Poor (1886)

By William Addison Phillips

Book Overview

""Labor, Land And Law: A Search For The Missing Wealth Of The Working Poor"" is a book written by William A. Phillips in 1886. It is a comprehensive study of the economic and social conditions of the working poor in the United States during the late 19th century. The book examines the relationship between labor, land, and law, and how these factors have contributed to the impoverishment of the working class. Phillips argues that the working poor have been deprived of their rightful share of wealth due to the concentration of land ownership and the exploitation of labor by the wealthy elite. He also explores the legal framework that has perpetuated this system of inequality, and proposes solutions for addressing the issue. The book is a seminal work in the history of American social and economic thought, and remains relevant today as a critique of capitalism and its impact on the working class.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
