Description

In this book the author writes about blacks in the United States in the 1970s, and the mass of unorganized workers in Great Britain in 1888. By that time, the New Model craft unions of Britain had been protecting the skilled craftsmen in national 'amalgamated societies' for over thirty years. Similar institutions had grown up in North America. The mass of workers in the Anglo-American world, however, were excluded from the protective walls built by these closed unions. The many unskilled and the cyclically unemployed had no assistance, moreover, from the State for the opportunity 'to learn his living'.
