Capitalist And Laborer: An Open Letter To Goldwin Smith, In Reply To His Capital And Labor (1907) (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781104061258)

Capitalist and Laborer: An Open Letter to Goldwin Smith, in Reply to His Capital and Labor (1907) is a book written by John Spargo. The book is a response to Goldwin Smith's book, Capital and Labor, in which Smith argued that the relationship between capitalists and laborers was one of mutual benefit and cooperation. Spargo, a socialist, disagreed with Smith's argument and wrote an open letter in response.In the book, Spargo argues that the relationship between capitalists and laborers is inherently exploitative. He contends that capitalists use their power and wealth to extract labor from workers at the lowest possible cost, while laborers are left with little choice but to accept these conditions. Spargo also criticizes Smith's belief that the market will naturally regulate itself, arguing that this is not the case and that government intervention is necessary to protect workers from exploitation.Throughout the book, Spargo presents evidence to support his arguments, including statistics on working conditions and wages. He also discusses the history of labor movements and the role of socialism in advocating for workers' rights.Overall, Capitalist and Laborer: An Open Letter to Goldwin Smith, in Reply to His Capital and Labor (1907) is a passionate defense of workers' rights and a critique of the capitalist system. It remains a relevant and thought-provoking work for anyone interested in the history of labor movements and the ongoing struggle for workers' rights.And Modern Socialism, A Lecture Delivered At The New York School Of Anthrophy.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
