Why read it?
1 author picked The Condition of the Working-Class in England in 1844 as one of their favorite books. Why do they recommend it?
The boring title masks a great book written by Marx’s collaborator. It has all the anger and verve of an angry young man appalled by the conditions of English cities in the mid-nineteenth century. It is classic that reads as it was written yesterday. It is not only evocatively descriptive it also passionately engaged with moral outrage. A classic of urban writing and social concern.
From John's list on cities and their power to change lives and attitudes.
