The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844 with a Preface written in 1892 - Enriched edition

Friedrich Engels

Casa editrice: DigiCat

Sinossi

Friedrich Engels' seminal work, "The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844," serves as a profound investigation into the social and economic conditions faced by the working class during the Industrial Revolution. Written with a meticulous eye for detail, Engels employs a blend of sociological analysis and vivid exposition to portray the dire realities of life for laborers in urban industrial centers. The text embodies a critical response to capitalism, articulating the transformative power dynamics that arose from rapid industrialization, and is often considered a cornerstone in the development of socialist thought and labor rights discourse. Engels, a German philosopher, social scientist, and collaborator of Karl Marx, drew from both personal experiences and extensive empirical research while writing this work. Having witnessed the grinding poverty and exploitation firsthand, Engels felt a moral obligation to expose the injustices inflicted upon the working class. His role as a co-founder of Marxism also established a framework for his critiques, as he sought to illuminate the intrinsic link between economic systems and social conditions, paving the way for revolutionary thought. This book is a must-read for anyone intrigued by the historical aspects of labor movements, socio-economic theory, or the roots of modern socialism. Engels not only documents the plight of workers but also challenges readers to reflect on the implications of industrial capitalism, making this text as relevant today as it was over a century ago.

Food - Second Edition

John Coveney

In Food, John Coveney examines "food as . . . " identity, politics, industry, regulation, the environment, justice, and gastronomy. He explores how food helps us understand what it means to be human. 
 
 
 
The centrality of food in life, and the importance of food as life, is undeniable. As a source of biological substrates, personal pleasure, and political power, food is and has been an enduring requirement of human biological, social, and cultural existence. Interest in food has increased across the academic, public, and popular spheres, fueled by popular media's constant play on the role of food and body size, and food and cooking, as a mass spectacle for TV audiences. Through food, we construct our social identities, our families and communities. However, Coveney also highlights the tensions between the industrialization of food, the environment, and the iniquitous distribution of food. He also considers how the food industries, on which most of us must rely, have also had direct effects on our bodies through diet, and the development of illness and diseases. 
 
 
 
This accessible primer is for students and general listeners alike, indeed, for anyone with an interest in food. It questions the idea that food is merely something inert on the plate. Instead, it shows how influential, symbolic, powerful, and transformative food has come to be.
