The Laboring Classes is an article originally published in the Boston Quarterly Review in 1840 by Orestes Augustus Brownson. In this article, Brownson discusses the conditions and struggles faced by the working class in America during the Industrial Revolution. He argues that the laboring classes are the backbone of society and that their welfare should be a top priority for the government and society as a whole. Brownson also critiques the prevailing economic theories of his time, including laissez-faire capitalism, and calls for a more just and equitable distribution of wealth. The article is a seminal work in the history of American labor and social justice movements, and provides valuable insights into the challenges faced by workers during this period of rapid industrialization and social change.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
