By: (1820-1895)

Engels' "Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844" offers a powerful and insightful look into the harsh realities faced by the working-class during the Industrial Revolution.

Engels skillfully weaves together statistical data, personal anecdotes, and sharp social commentary to highlight the stark contrast between the lives of the wealthy elite and the struggling masses.

The book serves as a stark reminder of the enduring challenges faced by workers throughout history and the importance of striving towards a more just and equitable society.

Overall, "Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844" is a compelling and informative read that sheds light on a pivotal moment in history and serves as a powerful call to action for addressing issues of social inequality and injustice.
