A history of the rise of industrialism in modern Europe,
containing a description of the revolutionary changes which
transformed industry, commerce and agriculture at the beginning of
the last century, with an account of their reactions on the
political and economic condition of the chief European
nations.
The social problems created by this momentous revolution are
discussed in detail, and a historical survey is given of the
various attempts to correct the evils of industrialism, on the one
hand through state intervention by means of poor laws, factory
laws, schemes of social insurance, etc., and on the other through
voluntary effort as manifested in movements like trade unionism,
co-operation, profit sharing and co-partnership. Post-war
developments such as the Russian Revolution and international
labour legislation are also described in detail and depth. This
book was first published in 1930.
