These Things Shall Be (1920)

By George Lansbury

Book Overview

These Things Shall Be is a political and social manifesto written by British politician and socialist George Lansbury in 1920. The book outlines Lansbury's vision for a fair and just society, in which the working class are given equal opportunities and rights. He argues that this can only be achieved through the collective efforts of the working class, who must unite and fight against the oppressive forces of capitalism and imperialism. Lansbury draws heavily on his own experiences as a working-class man, and his involvement in the labor movement, to make his case for radical social and political change. He addresses a range of issues, including poverty, unemployment, housing, education, and healthcare, and proposes a series of concrete policy solutions to address these problems. Throughout the book, Lansbury emphasizes the importance of solidarity and cooperation among the working class, and argues that only through collective action can they hope to achieve their goals. He also critiques the political establishment and the capitalist system, which he sees as perpetuating inequality and exploitation. These Things Shall Be is a passionate and thought-provoking work that remains relevant today, as debates about economic inequality and social justice continue to shape political discourse. It is a call to action for all those who believe in a more equitable and just society, and a powerful reminder of the enduring legacy of socialism and progressive politics.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
