The Laboring Classes is an article written by Orestes Augustus Brownson and originally published in the Boston Quarterly Review in 1840. The article focuses on the struggles and conditions faced by the working class in America during the early 19th century. Brownson argues that the laboring classes are often overlooked and undervalued in society, despite their crucial role in the economy and the growth of the nation.Brownson discusses the various challenges faced by workers, including low wages, long hours, and unsafe working conditions. He also explores the impact of industrialization and the rise of capitalism on the laboring classes, arguing that these developments have led to increased exploitation and inequality.Throughout the article, Brownson emphasizes the importance of recognizing the value and dignity of labor, and calls for greater support and protection for workers. He also advocates for the establishment of workers' cooperatives and other forms of collective action to empower the laboring classes and improve their conditions.Overall, The Laboring Classes provides a powerful critique of the social and economic structures that have historically marginalized and exploited workers, and offers a compelling vision for a more just and equitable society.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
