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. The book is a detailed exploration of the social and economic conditions of the working poor in the late 19th century. Phillips argues that the root cause of poverty among the working class is the lack of access to land and the legal system that perpetuates this inequality. Phillips presents a comprehensive analysis of the relationship between labor, land, and law, and the impact it has on the economic well-being of the working class. He argues that the concentration of land ownership in the hands of a few wealthy individuals deprives the working class of the opportunity to own their own land and build a secure future for themselves and their families. The book also delves into the legal system and its role in perpetuating this inequality. Phillips argues that the legal system is structured in a way that favors the wealthy and powerful, making it difficult for the working class to access justice and protect their rights. Overall, Labor, Land And Law: A Search For The Missing Wealth Of The Working Poor is a powerful critique of the social and economic conditions of the working class in the late 19th century. It is a seminal work that continues to be relevant today, as it sheds light on the ongoing struggle for economic justice and equality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
