The Laboring Classes

The Laboring Classes: An Article From The Boston Quarterly Review (1840) is a non-fiction work written by Orestes Augustus Brownson. The book is a critical analysis of the laboring classes in the United States, and their social and economic conditions during the early 19th century. The author examines the causes of poverty and inequality among the working class, and argues for the need for social and economic reforms to improve their living conditions. Brownson also discusses the role of religion and education in shaping the moral and intellectual character of the working class, and the importance of a strong work ethic and self-reliance in achieving success. The book is a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of labor and social reform in the United States, and provides a unique perspective on the challenges faced by the working class during the early industrial era.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
