It provides a fascinating glimpse back to the period when labour was cheap and bread was dear - when wealth accumulated in the bank accounts of the Cotton Lords at a rate hitherto unknown in all the histories of all the peoples of the world - when labouring men, women and children were regarded as 'hands' - mere appendages to the industrial machines they tended - and still dared to dream of a better future and had the temerity to fight for it. Complete with a contribution from Jesse Norman, Tory M.P., author of The Big Society - the Anatomy of the New Politics.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e George Jacob Holyoake\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1447727827\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781447727828\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lulu.com\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 05\/26\/2011\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 270\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.72lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.27h x 5.83w x 0.57d","brand":"George Jacob Holyoake","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":47200696729855,"sku":"9781447727828","price":18.89,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_8965ff94-f909-4c47-a1a6-95633c746fc5.jpg?v=1756787619","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/self-help-by-the-people-the-george-jacob-holyoake-9781447727828","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
