Seven Articles On London Pauperism And Its Relations With The Labor Market (1870) (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781120705105)

""Seven Articles On London Pauperism And Its Relations With The Labor Market"" is a book written by Charles Edward Trevelyan in 1870. The book is a collection of seven articles that explore the issue of poverty in London and its relationship with the labor market. Trevelyan, a British civil servant and economist, examines the causes and consequences of poverty in London, including the impact of industrialization, urbanization, and the rise of capitalism.In the book, Trevelyan argues that poverty in London is not solely the result of individual laziness or moral weakness, but rather a systemic problem caused by economic and social factors. He critiques the prevailing attitudes towards poverty and the poor, which he sees as based on prejudice and ignorance, and advocates for a more compassionate and rational approach to addressing the issue.Trevelyan also examines the role of the labor market in creating and perpetuating poverty, arguing that low wages, long hours, and poor working conditions are major contributors to the problem. He proposes a number of reforms to improve the situation, including the establishment of a minimum wage, the regulation of working hours, and the provision of better housing and education.Overall, ""Seven Articles On London Pauperism And Its Relations With The Labor Market"" is a thought-provoking and insightful analysis of poverty in London during the 19th century, and remains relevant today as a critique of the systemic causes of poverty and inequality.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
