Title : The working class condition in the time of our great-grandparents - Serge Pacaud - book

Summary :

The 19th century, with the Industrial Revolution, saw the emergence of a new social class, the proletariat. From the outset, a constantly growing antagonism pitted workers, trapped in unacceptable poverty, against a greedy bourgeoisie that controlled the workings of the economy through the doctrine of capitalism. The political ups and downs, spurred on by theorists of collectivist and socialist ideologies, contributed to the multiple clashes that should, in principle, lead to a better world.

Despite the social advances achieved after many ups and downs, workers were still confronted with the harshness of their conditions, their morals, and their disappointed aspirations. This book, perfectly illustrated with hundreds of photographs and without prejudice or partisanship, dissects and restores all aspects of the working class conditions of this era, and allows us to understand its often distorted rules, the principles of the past, and the outcomes of tomorrow.
