Excerpt from Notes on Industrial Conditions
Our system of government was diverted from its normal course of development by the accident of our civil war. And we have never returned to the line of natural and healthful evolution which we then abandoned. The habit of employ ing the powers of the general government for everything that could be accomplished by their instrumentality, which our people acquired during the war, prepared the way for an over-development of government and a vast over-produc tion of legislation during the period following the close of the struggle. This powerful impulse toward the abnormal extension of the powers of the national government was accompanied and re-enforced by a general decay and disso lution of the local communities. The energy of the town ship life before the war was not less moral and social than political in its manifestation. A vigorous and decisive pub.

Paperback. Zustand: New. Print on Demand. This book, written in 1886, offers a compelling analysis of the growing tension between labor and capital in the United States. The author, writing in the midst of the rise of labor unions, explores the social, economic, and political forces that are driving this conflict. He argues that the pursuit of wealth, a defining characteristic of American life at the time, has created a system of intense competition that pits workers against each other and leaves many in dire straits. The author further argues that the growing power of organized labor and the rise of socialist ideas represent a significant challenge to the established social order. He examines the role of government, the impact of immigration, and the power of the press in shaping the evolving relationship between labor and capital. This book offers a fascinating glimpse into the anxieties and contradictions of industrializing America and its profound social transformation. The author's astute observations provide valuable insight into the long-lasting struggle for economic justice and the complexities of social change.
