The Worship of the Golden Calf: A Story of Wage-Slavery in Massachusetts is a novel written by Charles Sheldon and published in 1908. The book tells the story of a group of workers in Massachusetts who are struggling to make ends meet in a capitalist system that values profit over human dignity. The workers are exploited by their employers and forced to work long hours for low wages, leaving them little time or energy for anything else.The novel takes its title from the biblical story of the Israelites, who worshipped a golden calf instead of God. The workers in the novel are similarly worshipping the false idol of money and material possessions, at the expense of their own well-being and that of their families.The story follows the lives of several characters, including a young couple struggling to make ends meet, a factory worker who becomes disillusioned with the system, and a wealthy businessman who begins to question his own role in perpetuating the cycle of poverty and exploitation.Through these characters, Sheldon explores the themes of social justice, labor rights, and the moral responsibility of those in positions of power. The novel is a powerful critique of the capitalist system and a call to action for those who seek a more just and equitable society.Overall, The Worship of the Golden Calf is a thought-provoking and deeply moving novel that remains relevant today, more than a century after its initial publication.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
