In this fascinating book, Ann Woodall investigates and compares the
work and thought of William Booth and Karl Marx, who both arrived
in London in 1849. She draws comparisons between their responses to
the intractability of the poverty of the 'submerged tenth' of
London's population, and argues that Booth's pioneering work in
establishing the Salvation Army and the development of Marx's
economic theory began in their interactions with the London
residuum. Each recognised that much of the suffering was caused by
the workings of laissez-faire capitalism and that its total
solution required a challenge to the existing economic system. What
Price the Poor? raises important questions about the relationship
between theological discourse and the sociological imagination, and
it firmly places the development of theoretical and practical
social analysis and application within the context of social
history. It will appeal to all with interests in classical
sociology and the history of social activism.
