The Labor Question (1911) - Washington Gladden - Bog

The Labor Question is a book written by Washington Gladden and first published in 1911. It is a comprehensive analysis of the issues surrounding labor and the labor movement in the United States during the early 20th century. Gladden, a prominent American Congregationalist minister and social reformer, explores the history of labor in America, the challenges facing workers, and the various movements and organizations that have arisen to address these issues. The book covers a wide range of topics related to labor, including the role of unions, the struggle for fair wages and working conditions, the impact of industrialization on workers and their families, and the relationship between labor and capital. Gladden argues that the labor question is not simply an economic issue, but a moral one, and that the treatment of workers is a reflection of the values of society as a whole. Throughout the book, Gladden advocates for a more just and equitable society, where workers are treated with respect and dignity, and their rights are protected. He also offers practical solutions for addressing the challenges facing labor, including the need for better education and training for workers, the importance of collective bargaining, and the need for government intervention to ensure fair labor practices. Overall, The Labor Question is a seminal work in the history of labor and social reform in the United States. It remains relevant today, as many of the issues and challenges facing workers in the early 20th century continue to be relevant in the 21st century.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
